NOTICE Incomplete Issues
Many issues have missing pages or ads and articles
cut out. This is a very hard publication to obtain,
and we managed to get issues that had been saved at
a number of record companies like Del Fi and
Original Sound and had spent many years in storage.
We will attempt to fill in the missing issues and
missing pages, but for the moment this is a large
collection of a very rare magazine.
In general, music trade magazines often had their
charts removed to post in a record company office or
in a music store, so finding complete issues is a
challenge!
Our philosophy is "something is better than nothing"
so we post incomplete issues until something better
comes along.
If you have any of the needed or incomplete
issues, please donate or lend them for scanning. Or
