A typed fanzine page with a review headed “New English - La Beatroute 23.2.87”. The writer calls the band the liveliest of the night, notes wrong opening chords on “Sixteen” and says it was their tenth gig since October. A grainy photograph of three people by a doorway is captioned to say that Joz, the one in the middle, is no longer with the band, and a small competition box asks readers to name the band, where it comes from and who left it without a bassist. The same page holds reviews of another band and a notice for a zine called Fight Back.
