The editorial of the last ever issue edited by Liz and Cath, who went off to London in search of "Sapphic Paradise". It seems they took the emotional occasion as an opportunity to let their hyper-critical guard down a little, referring to New Hormones boss and close friend Richard Boon as "a saint", and giving a revealing list of the music that meant most to them at this moment. There's almost no post-punk, which had begun to run its course by this point ("I hope I'm never in a New Order mood", Liz quips) but it's not replaced with New Pop, goth or any other current trends. Instead there is a love of folk, jazz and soul, much of it pre-80s. A kind of burned-out return to authenticity, perhaps?
