I can't find a single flaw in that argument...
Thanks for being so supportive, although to be fair, I think you have already created the closest we are going to get to a time machine... www.muzines.co.uk
Which issues do you have? We have about 98% of International Musician, it's just taking a while to scan them as they are often 200+ page monster issues... so issues that fill gaps we don't have access to are the most useful, at this stage.

Nah, that was in the ballpark:
Ooh. That's a fascinating chart. Yes, it felt a fair purchase price at the time -- came from a studio in Taunton -- and it was in very good condition and complete with the lid, music rest, legs and both pedals. Looks like I sold it for a good price too, which is a small consolation...
Had you kept it, however... .
I know, I know... A mate bought one last year with a MIDI retrofit for around £24k ! it's in lovely nick and sounds superb, but OMG!

In my world, things get less strange when I read the manual...
Awesome, thanks. There are other publications we're looking for as well, so if you could give me an idea of what you find up there, that'd be super!
I’ve found July and December 1979 ‘International Musician & Recording world’ plus February, June (it’s Muse on the cover) and July 2001 of Making Music.
I’ve got quite a few ‘Beat Instrumental’ magazines (you asked what else I’ve got) as well.
I haven’t finished my search yet.

Great - they fill some important holes!

Thanks - I'm not tackling Beat Instrumental, I've turned down collections of those in the past. There's a *lot* of them, and there's only so much I can do!
Given that tomorrow is our official fifth birthday, there *might* be some new publications added (ssh! There's gonna be some new publications added!)
If we can arrange to get those issues you mention scanned/lent/given to us to scan, that'd be fab!
Ping me an email to news@soundonsound dot etc when the new mags are up and I'll post a 'birthday/new content' news story on the website and social media.
This morning got off to a fine start when about 25 members of police, fire, paramedics descended into the woods at the back of the field out of my window, then an Air Ambulance landed outside my backgarden... they recovered a body. Doesn't seem to be a crime scene though, the whole thing was rather odd, and sad of course...
