Finally added what I hope is a comprehensive discography to the site. Many thanks to all that helped put this together, but particularly to Mark Lascelles and Andy Rigg.

Vera Buzz appears to have been the official fanzine of the venue where Spacemen 3 played on 12 March 1987. This issue has a preview of the gig. The text is partly adapted from the Spacemen 3 interview in the Northampton Mercury and Herald, which I presume had been sent out as part of the …
