Aye - I agree - especially since Shawn already has a "free advert" running in "Get The Word Out" section - repetition here is unnecessary.

I don't want to appear nasty, but I think the purpose of this thread was to discuss the magazine itself, rather than advertising flogging the things.

The person who bought the Radiohead issue never paid me, so its relisted:

I have to say, its at the quality of the earlier issues. Although I did really like the article on Camel and a few others. As much as we love Prog, is there really enough stuff going on in the genre to warrant a monthly periodical the size of this $15 magazine? Don't get me wrong, I really like the magazine, but doubt they'll be able to sustain a vibrant monthly that'll keep our interest (does anybody really care about the latest developments with Mostly Autumn?) |
It's bi-monthly - so that's only $7.50 a month

Yes, I do. I have followed them since the very beginning, and it was interesting to see that perspective. Likewise, I think a lot of people on the forum will enjoy the dream Theater interviews in the latest issue, which certainly make very interesting reading. I think it's great

I'm completely distressed over not being able to find the last two issues. I had all the issues up until this point, then every store in Southern California has decided to vote "no" on Prog Rock! Damn them! I ts turned me into a 21st Century Schizoid Man (yes I just said that )

| Nice to see you John! The sales figures come from Jerry Ewing himself, so I presume they are accurate. I think it is over-priced for what you get and I am always suspicious of album art features as they strike me as padding. Still, at least Prog is featured on the supermarket shelves, both Tesco and ASDA stock it in Bolton.

I had a natter with CRPP's editor Jerry Ewing at this years Summers End Festival and he made mention about the issue of putting the vingate artists on the cover. The answer was simple; the classic artists sell more copies of the magazine. He recognises it's not ideal but for every person that picks up the magazine for the band on the cover, they will get to read about the newer bands inside which is fair enough.

I remember when I bought the 3rd issue, the first one was going for nearly $100 at that point and the second was around $40...
