The small block of copy at the top of the second page reads:
'Politics, in a sense, has always been a con game. Advertising, in many ways, is a con game too. It is not surprising then, that politicians and advertising men should have discovered one another.'

The block of copy at the lower right of the TV reads:
24th November, 1979 New Musical Express
They project a very real sense of danger of the sort I've not experienced since the Pistols' 100 Club days. But whereas the Pistols were more into conventional hard rock, The Pop Group are working in territory that is far from orthodox.
Nick Kent


Re-issued in August 1984 (w/ same cat#).
