WELCOME

WELCOME TO January 2023.


Welcome to January, February, March 2023. Terry Hall and Dave Greenfield would have both celebrated birthdays this quarter, but 2022 ended on a sad note for fans of The Specials and The Stranglers. The Stranglers also lost Jet Black as the year ended. In this issue of AMMP we take apart a classic Specials’ song and also show you the way to a free Kinks calendar. And how about the ultimate 1980 NME playlist, starting with Joy Division at #1 for singles and albums?
