A nice 4 page article in this magazine - the current issue is devoted to folk rock - also pieces on Pentangle, John Martyn, Renaissance, etc

Some very nice pictures from the 70s of Simon and Peggy - especilly on the back of the outer bag!

You don't need to boast, I have been listening to it a lot recently, and it is a really nice album. The singing is lovely too.

Interesting magazine. I didn’t realise the prog scene was so revitalised. Flicking through it and listening to the CD, I was struck by one encouraging feature: the presence of women as performers and fans. My memories of prog from the early seventies are of something seriously blokeish. Ex-public schoolboys making music for schoolboys like me and my older student brothers – a hopeless way of meeting girls.

I still can't justify the cost of the magazine to myself or to anybody else.  But then again, how many other people in the world would get excited about a Comus spread?!  As for the CD, I'm afraid I found most of it pretty samey and of a not particularly high standard.  That Mostly Autumn / Magenta ish sound does very little for me, I'm afraid....although the Porcupine Tree-ish type of stuff is much more interesting.

Some of us girls were very serious prog rock fans - Sonja Kristina was one of our heroines  Cool

Not a bad way to to meet lads either - at a Yes or Uriah Heep concert  Grin Oh dear  Embarrassed

Have to say, I rather enjoyed the CD, good background music while I'm working on Ebay !!!

I bought it for Tull Comus and Fairport, I can't stand prog rock as a rule, but I don't consider any of those bands prog rock anyway, although I can see why someone would.
Being blind as a bat I didn't see the price on the cover, and I was running for a train, so just dumped it on the counter.
EIGHT QUID!!!
Never again.
For that price I'd want Sonja Kristina to come round and make the tea.

I don't think the price is that bad for the content..8 quid is a couple of pints and a few bags of crisps..!

It's (damn nearly) twice the price of any comparable magazine.  And tbh, I don't reckon they are that cheap.  But I suppose if one views is at a sort of 'fanzine' one starts to look at it a bit differently...

I'd imagine that this mag has a pretty small run and doesn't look cheap at all so I guess its worth it. A lot of new interviews and decent archive pics keep the interest up, Well put together. Knitting with Hendrix, I love it!

I was given this for Christmas by my son. I did enjoy reading the articles. I didn't realise what the cost was until I read this thread, he did say he was a bit shocked though.

Lovely review of Jude's album, and a nice bit on fairport.

I haven't had time to listen to the CD yet though.
