Found an article on me and the Deep Purple Freak Society club that saw print back on October 6 1979 in a local newspaper called LT. I was interviewed by Annika Engman and the shot of me holding a couple of fanzines was taken by Jan Andersson. I wrote a few words on Purple that they added to it, which was cool. This might have been my first little story ever in print, outside of my own publications and a letter that was published in a POSTER magazine before this. I will create one of my nostalgia posters with this being at the center of it. It was around this time that I started to write for newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad as well (in the south of Sweden, my first article for them was published on October 12 that same year, just days after this). I was 18 and things were about to kick off. Good times.
(My shot of said presentation, the Purple image was a promotional shot by Fin Costello sent out by EMI Records)
