I wanted to mention  legendary music journalist
Pete Makowski who has died aged 65.
He started at Sounds magazine as a teenage office-boy
before getting tthe opportunity to write.
I believe he was given the. less-popular with older staff, 
heavy rock albums to review.
Which included Deep Purple's Made in Japan,
regards
Titus

    Too young to die, by today's standards anyway.
    Titus, do you have old music magazines?

      I don't unfortunately. I was an avid Sounds buyer in the 70s but that was a newspaper rather than a glossy mag so one tended to read it then throw it away. There is a Norwegian guy who has lots and is selling. He scans stuff. I will post a link when I am home...all work at the moment

    It's still a pain in the ass to me when at the end of the eighties I moved to another house, and I just went to the garbage paper bin throwing away all my eighties Rock'n'Folk collection. Well I've read them, why should I keep them ???? Dummy was I.

      Been there, done (something like) that.
      There was a portuguese mag called Musica & Som which I had collected in my teens, well about 20 years ago it all went to the trash. Before that, I scanned some of its pages but only articles with what I liked back then so I don't have not even one complete edition...
      Anyway I still have some Classic Rock Magazines, Enfer, Hard Force, Metal Attack.

    We've all done things like that. The alternative is a house crammed with the clutter of a lifetime.
