Date note
No date is printed on the page; the scan label’s October 1986 is unsupported, and the page ends “or look at the next page!” while the apparent next page (A11) carries a review dated 2/4/87, which would put the issue in April 1987 or later if the two pages belong together.

The first page of a typewritten fanzine interview with The New English, with no masthead or date visible. The introduction names Johnny Rasheed on bass and vocals and Shareef on guitars, with drums supplied by a drum machine printed as “Sequestial”; a black bar hides a word before Shareef’s name. Short topic headings run down the page, from drum machines and the independent scene to Morrissey and Marr, television, alcohol, religion, racism, skinhead fashion and benefit gigs, with answers from Johnny and Shareef. A solid black panel carries a rotated slogan about being harder and more melodic than two famous groups, and a small photograph of two people sits at lower right. The page ends with a pointer to the next page. These are the band’s own statements, not independent criticism, and no date is printed.

Johnny Rasheed (Bass and vocals)

Line-up statement in the interview’s introduction; the page’s own wording.
