selectadisc Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Just read issue #10 from 1981, I wrote the article on the U.K. label " Destiny", first time I have seen it since it was published. I had forgotten about it completely, I can't remember interviewing Kev Roberts, let alone spending an hour with him! That's memory for you, a tip for younger members, never grow old! Thanks for posting. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Seano Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just been skimming through copies. Bloody hell. Looking back now I'm in awe of the detailed knowledge contributors set out, and the amazing work Steve and Kevin put into this specific magazine, as well as obviously all the others through the decades. I enjoyed reading my Christmas present, Iain McCartney's book Soul In Print, reviewing soul magazines like this, and you just have to give thanks for all their dedication and willingness to share. Great to now have access to these digital copies. When you think of all of that research pre-internet, and publishing pre-home desktop computer/scanner/printer, it just beggars belief really. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
