What's this gingerly loping into view? Looks a bit like issue 3 to me.

An unfinished draft cover of issue 3 of my IN THE APRIL SUN fanzine.

When we started Sarah back in 1987, our aims were simple: release 100 fabulous pop records and bring about socialist and feminist revolution. The idea of being international superstar DJs never crossed our minds. But with the rest now sorted, here’s Clare on the wheels of steel in Osaka last Monday.

Such good fun DJing and meeting a tonne of lovely people at the super-nice Anorak Days club in Osaka last night. Hooray for the international indiepop underground!

It's those "leather-panted romeos" BMX Bandits at the Hoochie Coochie. An effusive review from The Legend! complete with (presumably unwelcome?) reference to Michael Heseltine @bmxbanditsduglas.bsky.social

Another positive review for Easterhouse's "Whistling In The Dark" this time from Gill Smith (aka Nancy Culp, reportedly given that moniker by Morrissey after the actress Nancy Kulp from the Beverly Hillbillies 🤷‍♂️).
