A shameless plug for this unlocked November 2020 birthday article.
35 Years of Sound On Sound -- It's a bit of fun.
Thanks to everyone who got us to issue 421 and for staying the course. We
salute you.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved across those 35 years. They passed so quickly. When does the midlife crisis begin?

It is an impressive milestone; I feel as if I've grown up alongside SOS for decades now (oh, wait, that'll be because I
have !)
Wonderful job and thank you to all the staff for a brilliant read. The dedication and hard work is inspiring

SOS has increased knowledge so much and caused credit cards to melt so many times.
Congratulations on 35 years!

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

Piggin' 'eck!
I remember buying issue 2 all those decades ago, with a young John Foxx on t'cover.
And I still have it.
All that took place back in summat called t' 20th Century,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85SQnF7I0gY
when "Midi" was something women wore, "synths" did not remotely resemble Gemma Chan (sadly). and Hovis was still delivered by a Boy and Bicycle.
But you tell young people today, and they won't believe you.
Félicitations, Sound on Sound !
You certainly turned your Revolt Into Style...

That photo of the 1914 issue begs the question - what have you got against Geoff Downes?

I think he used them to build a thin wall in his studio.

Where does sound exist?

I’m a more recent student of SOS (only since 2008 I think), but it’s been the source of much of my learning or the signpost to where I need to read more. I’ve never bought anything studio wise (except my reissue Minimoog which I preordered before Gordon said it quacked in the requisite manner) before I’ve read the SOS review and still don’t intend to. The recent addition of podcasts to the output is amazing too, just listened to all of Mike Seniors and they’re sooooo good.
Well done keep up the sterling work and the humour. Both much needed!

Same here, very glad that the magazine and this very forum exist, the quality of both contents and manners amazes me every time.
Congratulations and a big, big thank you!

Well done SOS.
I've too have been there since the early days & it's taught me pretty much everything I needed to know ever since.
SOS & The Sky at Night are the two guilty pleasures I still look forward to every month!
Have to say the last few issues have been top notch!
Keep up the excellent work

I don't know... I come looking for exciting new developments, and what do I find?

Seriously impressive guys. I'm definitely a new boy to the scene and a lot of what's in the mag goes over my head, but I really appreciate it anyway

I would say in its own way SoS magazine has had an impact upon musicians all around the World.
There's a saying, if you could leave the World a little better than you found it, I would say SoS magazine it's staff it's writers have done this.

Thankfully, indeed. What I should have said is that my keyring is significantly more populated than it was when I first picked up a copy of SOS
