The Charts and the 12-inch Limited Edition Single
Bob Woffinden, NME, 26 August 1978
NME's LAST chart-hyping piece concluded with a statement to the effect that the twin threat of both exposure in the press and the greater number of charts would not necessarily eliminate hyping, but it would at least force record companies to think of something different.
