I’m sure you know who Maurice Jones was. His comment would not have come as a team supporter, which your post above suggests.

I used to subscribe to Backtrack; I have always subscribed to Classic, and Vintage before that I’m afraid funds no longer allow both, and I prefer the older magazine I was hoping to purchase this edition, with postage costs, as a one-off
