So the big news today came from this link where IPC announced plans to revive the Melody Maker name with a comprehensive online archive of the magazine.
I’ve joined the good folks over at the WSC forum in expressing my cynicism that it’s anything more than just hot air. I’d love to see it happen but won’t be holding my breath.
And relax…

I believe The Beloved were signed to East West records, WEA’s new label in 1990.
