Someone went to the incredible effort of scanning nearly every issue cover to cover. (Oh, what a joyfully nostalgic rabbit hole that was to discover!!) As far as I can tell, Neil's first appearance is in issue 74 (1-14 October 1981), plugging his Madness book in the Bitz column, then he becomes an occasional contributor for a while until officially appearing on the masthead in June 1982 (issue 93).

You can also find links to Neil's articles via Rock's Backpages, but you have to subscribe:
