Title: Le Beat Route/NME Post by: Panda Paws on Tuesday, May 31, 2016, 14:40:58 I'm on the beg for some TEF help - I'm trying to find the NME edition from sometime during the late 70s/early 80s (think 81, 82 but not sure) that on the cover was a club/crowd scene shot in the famous Soho New Romantics nightclub Le Beat Route.
Anyone have a clue where to start, beyond Google? Or per chance knows?

You could try ringing them to see if they actually do (or if I just made it up)

Have you looked at ebay? There are a ton for sale. Do you not know who was playing etc?

I'll see If I can find it.

IT and OZ, I used to keep, but somehow down the years, they disappeared, which is a shame....now however, you can find the OZ ouevre on line. Not the same mind.... http://www.theguardian.com/media/shortcuts/2016/mar/06/return-oz-most-controversial-magazine-60s-goes-online Title: Re: Le Beat Route/NME Post by: adje on Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 18:04:47 Aah the international times.heady days
