From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s there was an flabbergastingly large amount of newsprint devoted to music in the UK. There were three ‘serious’ music papers (New Musical Express, Sounds and Melody Maker), several music mags aimed at early teens (Smash Hits, No 1) and others pitched somewhere in the middle (Record Mirror). And all these came out every week!

Then there were the monthlies (Flexipop, ZigZag, Jamming!), and occasional short-lived new mags (Noise, Debut, The Hit), as well as extensive music sections in style mags like The Face.

Strawberry Switchblade’s media onslaught saw them covered in all of these mags and more besides.
