albert 14th May 2017		Cut, the monthly paper, was printed in Edinburgh but was available regionally in parts of the UK, certainly in the North East, however I don't think it was readily found in London as I only had 2 issues in my pile of old papers. Now I am in the process of sorting through old papers to chuck/sell and I can genuinely state that in comparison to Cut all of the big inky press papers - NME, Sounds, Melody Maker - were totally off target pushing the most boring of bands on big labels and ignoring any band/record that was 'small', or 'tiny' if truth be told. I have added a couple of samples from Cuts pages to illustrate just what you didn't get in the NME, the 'new releases' lists include 7" for The Vaselines, Talulah Gosh, Baby Lemonade, Slaughter Joe, The Sound, The Bachelor Pad, Josef K, The Beat Poets, Man From Delmonte, etc - stuff that NME & Sounds just wouldn't even mention on a couple of lines. Meanwhile by comparison, NME (18 April 1987) had a feature on 'The New Independents' - which all look like funded fake indie labels - all of them dance: Rhythm King, Fon, Champion etc. Cut also gives space to list fanzines with contact addresses and most importantly it has pages for introducing new bands without any accompanying hype or pseudo-ramblings that proliferate the pages of the weeklies. I am keeping nothing from my pile of the weekly press, though I am flipping through the pages one last time, (hardly anything is now of interest), thankfully I didn't rely entirely on the music press to keep me informed about music. With hindsight I can see just how much was missed by the usual weekly press, its just a shame that Cut wasn't more widely available as it certainly contained more of the stuff that collectors clamour for these days (always a sign of the best music). Probably also helps explain why Scotland's music was quite a bit more invigorating than most places elsewhere in the UK at the time.
