David Bowie is the cover star. The associated story on page 7 is about his forthcoming UK tour, which may be his last as he drops pop and becomes a movie star instead. Meanwhile, it’s time to boycott Melody Maker: they won’t run an advert for Gay News. Reviews include The Dream King by Wilfred Blunt and Glenda Jackson in Collaborators at the Duchess.

This issue was late getting to subscribers and the newsstands due to industrial action by the T&G and ASLEF amongst others on 1 May, protesting the government’s incomes policy.
