It was because of them it had to be printed on the shinier paper, JP, or the strips wouldn't have reproduced clearly.<br /><br />******<br /><br />Ah, who knows, CJ? I'd guess someone must do.

I was vaguely aware of a song called The Crunch so I just looked for it on YouTube and yes, it was an instrumental by the Rah Band from 1977.

I also used to buy a few Warlords and Victors in the 80's if the covers grabbed me.<br />Yes, the DC This comics do NEED to be on the pulp paper. The same with 2000AD - once they started to use better quality paper it was never quite the same. BUT, here's the weird thing - the reverse is true as well! When they relaunched the Eagle in the 80's on a good quality paper it didn't quite "do it for me". But I stuck with it and when it changed to the cheaper pulp paper it seemed a much better comic to me. Obviously, the 50's tabloid Eagles were the best, but in the 80's there were no tabloid comics and even most of the music papers had shrunk to magazine size.<br />Now there's a thing! - the music papers, - anyone out there like me who used to love/ collect the 60's/70's pop press?John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.com
