Yes, all the WH Smiths should have it. Feel free to call Classic Rock's customer support for the nearest outlet to you. They are normally helpful.

Try the railway station in Bath. For some reason, all WH Smiths at the railway stations have the magazines.

Ok, I didn't know Bath Spa Station had a WHSmiths (it's very small and pathetic really), but the town certainly does. I'll try it tomorrow, thanks.

^Same. I have all of the issues except for number 1. I love the mag. It's great they have the guts to put out a magazine dedicated to prog.

...pity that the young never got to experience the great early 1970's issues of "Circus" and "Melody Maker" magazines!
I was HUGELY into "Circus," they had fantastic articles about Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP etc. Great photos too! Lots of Tull, Wishbone Ash, and of course Zep, Deep Purple etc.
See if you can find any in the library, the articles about "Larks Tongues In Aspic," "Close to the Edge" etc. were very good journalism as I recall.
-Olde Prog Farte, soon to be 55 !

Would they be available on microfilm? They were talking about digitising old papers, making them available online.

If you want a kick, go to Ebay and enter "Circus magazine" into the search window, & then concentrate upon the photos of copies from the late 1960's to mid-1970's!!
You'll see how much press Yes, Tull, Crimson and other bands were getting back then! Damn, I loved that magazine in its heydey!
When they got into Kiss & Van Halen, I subscribed to Guitar Player and started working on my chops.
Check 'em out! Also, I forgot about "Creem" magazine, another rag full of prog bands back then!

I used to buy Creem mag, Circus, Ram mag and Rock just for the Kiss articles but i remember seeing pix of Ian Anderson and thinking who is that loon standing on one leg - now i am into Jethro Tull big time - how the tide has changed....
I remeber the mags were mostly black and white and not glossy but htey had colour sections, there were lots of photos of gene spittn g blood in these sections. they capitalised on the concert shots of the bands. Lots of Meatloaf articles i remember and a stack of Led zaeppelin. What mags!
Prog magazine is still the best thing to read regarding prog. the other mags just dont have enough prog. The exception is occasionally Mojo and Uncut or Classic Rock but it is sparsem very sparse.
I liked the prog mag with Gabriel and it really sparked my interest in him a lot more than i thought it would.

Good chat!
I rarely read MOJO, how much more can be said about Led Zep, Stones etc.? I'll have to check out the new Prog mag!
Problem is, the Internet is so damn convenient, AND content is free, it is hard to break free to actually read something!!
Funny you were into Kiss, I saw them once on US TV about 1974 in concert, when they were first starting out! I was enthralled, applying costumes to hard rock (like Gabriel did to Prog). Who would have thought that Kiss would have become such an enormous influence in rock music?
I never did go to a Kiss show, but they helped drive the art of the huge concert experience forward for sure!

I sort of like MOJO....just bought my first issue (the one w/ Angus Young on the cover) after being a bookstore-flipper of it for years. Good article on Pavement...AC/DC too.
I hope the new ELP issue of Prog hits the US bookstores soon...

I missed the first few Prog mags, which have now become collectables as they're no longer available from the publishers. Took out a subscription and have the last 3 mags which i've really enjoyed. Loads of bands in there that I've never heard of but as someone posted before, - how many more items do we need on stones, ac/dc etc etc.
I still buy the odd Uncut or Mojo if there's something in there that takes the eye, but we've waited a long time for a quality mag that deals with prog.

Welcome to the forum. I think that you are confusing Classic Rock Presents Prog with its older sister publication, Classic Rock, which most certainly does have far too much on bands like the Stones, AC/DC & etc participating in drunken or drug induced orgies. None of that in Prog, though, or certainly not AC/DC or The Stones

Hi,
I would prefer that Dean and a couple of the folks here put together a nice historical thing that spent less time kissing a band and more time showing the evolution of the whole thing. And then publish it ... it probably would sell well, considering the base is already here in the board, but in the end, I think that it would show a lot more than just another fanzine out there ... and help cement the music a lot better.
