Cover Photo: (Unknown)

Price - 45p    Pages - 88

 

Please Note:

​

On page 2 this issue is labelled as 203 and the cover date as above despite the fact that the publication has missed the dates 10th September - 23rd September.

​

This issue also advertise a Double sided Poster in the next issue.

 

The following issue dated 24th September with Pet Shop Boys on the cover has the Double Sided Poster but does not say what Issue number it is so I have labelled it Issue 204 as it is advertised as the next issue to buy.
