i talk to paul quite often and always find his comments helpful, I have advertised several of my own events in the mag as well and put it out at events. However i used to sell Shades of Soul for derek and soul survivor in the 80s & 90s both off my list and at venues. it sometimes made you feel like a right dick trying to get 80p/£1/£2 out of your mates for a copy of a brilliant mag like shades / SS as they all thought i was making a fortune selling it. I still have back copies i never sold (Honest !) you'll always get the ones "i'll get it at the end of the night" who are to pissed to get one then and i really wouldn't want to be stood with a pile of mags all-night, however the wholsale rate is good and an incentive to sell as long as punters want to buy something that has been free since it arrived. a hard one to call, but i think that keeping it free and charging slightly more on the ads would have been a better option. All credit to paul on a great idea and a landmark publication. Rob

Looks like the centre has been "DINKED" with a "DINKER" for use on a Juke Box, so probably had a small hole when pressed.

think you will find there is a copyright infringement on the label as well paul,it's being delt with

DRIZABONE "PRESURE" 4th & BROADWAY That will upset Pete Smith, but as british as they come, not a cover version and has remained a constant dance floor filler--none bigger By the way nobody said it had to be 60s did they
