The other thing about NME in those days was that it was very (left wing) political. Individual writers for Melody Maker and Sounds weren't shy about expressing their political views, either (although reports vary on just how far-right Garry Bushell's Oi! movement may really have been).
Whereas the Maker was about music. It took it seriously, and analysed it. You felt informed when you'd read it. I discovered things through the Maker.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
