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

I think Midge must have bought up most of the copies of Issue #1...

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.

I'm very proud to have been involved on both sides of those hallowed pages.
Well done SOS - the ship has been steered well.

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

Congratulations, and thank you!
Partly responsible for a fair number of purchases over the years, but at least they're all good ones...

My first SoS purchase from WHSmiths had one of my Synth heroes on the cover.
I recall circling all the gear I wanted but didn't have money for. The fun was in circling what I wanted.
Dreaming about all the gear I saw on SoS, then hopping along to local music shop in Kent to see which they had in stock. I miss those local music shops.
Since then, from 2k onwards, nearly every modern music gear I have purchased, I search SoS magazine and database to read whether it's been reviewed. SoS forums too.
Any gear that catches my fancy that others have reviewed I check to see what SoS thinks of this gear.
If I recall correctly Yammy SY85 was on a front cover, thereafter a few years later I purchased SY85.
I just purchased an Audient ID4 because of SoS views of it.
When I had very little idea of computer music 2002, SoS magazine articles, forums, came to the rescue.
I also like reading SoS for articles on diverse range of music from all around the World.
