Remember Smash Hits............

[Miffy2003]

O used to read both MM & NME and I always preferred MM but that's simply because they used to cover my then favourite bands more often than the NME. I enjoyed both, though!


I liked Smash Hits for about 6 months but "grew out of it" LOL.

I have never heard of Disco 45 Libby!

Nubedy - I used to do that as well

Being born in 1971....I bought Smash Hits from about 1980 till about 1986.
At that time is was issued fortnightly and I had it 'reserved' at my local newsagent.
The lyrics were a major part of my and friends lives....so were the posters that covered our bedroom walls.

RIP SMASH HITS....You were a major influence and memory in my 'growing up' years and will never be forgotten!

I stoped reading around the time take that came on the scene! In our school people tended to like take that or nirvana!

I still have my copy of the first edition. Wonder if it's worth anything?

...the fortnightly pop magazine??? Remember it was the only place to get the song lyrics??

After 28 years it will no longer be published

I remember buying this and in particular getting the lyrics for '99 red balloons'

Bye Bye Smash Hits

German or English Kaylee?

Wow, looking at the picture, mines in far better condition. I've actually got all the editions for 1 until 104. I kept them in a box in my bedroom when I was a kid and they are still there at my mum's house.
