This actually saddened me a bit, it came up in the pub quiz during the week & I had no idea of the answer & music geekery is kind of my thing. (Got 20/20 in the music round though & the bonus point for the theme being 1979, so there's that...but still!)

Nice little postal delivery of not one but two #ZXSpectrum magazines this morning. Plenty of good reading in both. 2026 & still plenty of love for the old Speccy.
