RE: your singles reviews last week. Personally I think your review of the new Status Quo single was poor to say the least, utter crap would be closer.

Reviewers of magaines and newspapers such as your own have done nothing but slag off the Quo for 21 years now. Tell me how many of the groups of today have split up after a year or two? And also, how many groups nowadays con their dedicated (!) fans with 12" remixes, of last year's cover version, originally made four years ago? (Tricky one this - Ed) Probably accidentally when the lead singer tripped over the synthesiser.

So come on, don't slag off the older and better groups, who care for their fans, just to keep up sales to the teeny bopper groupies.

From a dedicated fan of Status Quo, a dedicated group.

Nothing quite like your typical NME letter to start the day with, is there? - PH.
