    Just to reiterate, when referring to the different texts we have studied, it won't help the examiner if you just say "Pink Floyd" magazine. You MUST refer to the exact publication.

    Pink Floyd edition - MOJO 296 – July 2018: Pink Floyd 50
    Sex Pistols edition - MOJO 286 / September 2017

    Please respond to this comment so that I know you have understood. It may help to write these down in a new blog post.
