The
cover star of the twenty-first edition
of YHO was Sylvia Tella, and the photo was borrowed from the sleeve of Spell, her debut LP. This issue began with a quote from Arsene
Wenger and continued: “I like the state of ‘not knowing’. It can be a
springboard to discovery, which helps pieces of information fit together in
enlightening ways. It can also be a source of worry, with pieces of a jigsaw
turning up unexpectedly to befuddle and bemuse.”
It
took as its starting point a little confusion or confession about the London
female reggae collectives Akabu and Abacush.
In many ways it formed the third part of a trilogy with the preceding
two issues, with a strong focus on post-punk activities and UK reggae
productions. Tony Herrington around this
time wrote a particularly enthusiastic piece in The Wire on YHO.
Among
those also mentioned in this edition of YHO are:
Ø
Mark Lusardi

Mike Dorane and the Disco Dub Band

Ø
Judy Nylon

It
ends with a little confession or confusion about Nick Plytas and Nick Straker
