In the
September
23rd 1986 issue of
Red

the paper, or enough money to pay its bills, Red Rag celebrates its
seventh birthday. Starting next issue, it will cut its print run back
from 1600 to 300, lose most of its outlets, stop delivering
door-to-door, and charge 20p per copy. "Despite much reluctance and
resistance," it says here.
