Was the Word

It's always nice to hear Mark Ellen on the radio, as he is at the moment; and it's always nicer to hear of him being involved in a magazine launch (was ever anyone so wasted as he was when at the helm of Arena?).

Word, the much-anticpated magazine from Ellen and Hepworth's new stable has arrived, and it sounds like its got its mind in the right place (although it's an bit rich for Ellen to snipe at magazines bragging about "200 LPs reviewed and rated" - who was it who started that trend when they were editing Q, Mark?). If any copies show up in Liverpool, we'll let you know.
