Goin' Back With Ian Matthews, part 1
John Tobler, ZigZag, September 1976
IT CAME AS no great surprise to me that Ian Matthews should come quite so high in the recent poll concerning who you'd like to read about, and it's additionally a great relief that so much of our audience, at least the ones who write, want to know more about those who came to fame some years ago rather than those up and coming.
