I started reading around Prog 614, jumping across from the US Quality Comics reprints (being in rural Western Australia, you pretty much took what you could get) and these ads, along with stuff like Roxilla's record reviews and John Brosnan's movie reviews, really helped me get my head around the culture of 2000 AD, and I guess London at the time as well. Invaluable stuff.
Thanks for the nice feedback, Dave. You should check out William’s new album that he’s releasing soon. He’s put a couple of tracks out already, and of course, they’re great! Glad to hear that you like the Strange Cargo albums. William and I collaborated on the design of Cargo III back in the day as Paranoia Art Inc. Love that album, I still play it all the time. Cheers! Steve

That's actually really nice to know, Travis!
Loved these ads back in the day, thanks for sharing. I also went to the 'Panic in the Year Zero' 15th birthday party, what a hoot that was!
...and you've met William Orbit! (big fan of the Strange Cargo albums) 👍

Yeah, I'll definitely be getting his new album, the Leftfield remix of Bank of Wildflowers is fantastic! https://youtu.be/yxmI6_xkobc
Great blog you've got here, loving all the stories - and the excellent photos on your website. 😊
Thanks, Dave!
Much appreciated. :)
Really interesting 👌
Cheers, and thanks for signing up, Maurice!
Another cool entry to the blog. Love seeing these stories of the old days...
Thanks for the feedback, Dave. I hesitated to post because some of this stuff is so ancient, but maybe that's the point.
It is. We're all part of history now!
Excellent! Informative and interesting.
Thanks, Tim!
