I just would like to add that for me Haslop's weekly column in the Business Day (every Monday, and not yet behind the paywall that Bday are going to introduce) is essential reading - even if I don't agree with him or know anything about the particular artist he has chosen that week.

is this the same Richard that used to review records in that magazine that caused me to believe women had stars on their breasts?

Dunno for sure, but I don't think so. IIRC that Richard, from Scope magazine, ended up managing Peach.

Richard Haslop used to have a late night show on SAFM that gave new meanings to words like "eclectic".
