FROM BEATLES TO BOWIE, 30 YEARS ON

Cor, those wuz the daze!

Readers have previously endured my shilling for UK music mags, so wot the bloody 'ell. why not more?

-
I even have a news peg to hang this one on.

-

Record Collector-as you can see from the upper toppermost of the bloggermost-started thirty annals ago as part Fabs, part others publication.

-

Interestin' that, as 1979-save for the release of the Hollywood Bowl LP two years earlier-was not exactly the age of Beatlemania, redux.
-

Yet here RC is, 780 fortnights later-look it up-still going strong.

-

Beatle coverage is still top shelf, but Record Collector is also tuned in tightly to many other iconic pop groups and stars.

-

This month, RC devotes a lot of script and pix-12 pages worth- to David Bowie's Hunky Dory album, itself now going on 38 years of age.

-

Hey Beatle fans, did you know that former Abbey Road Studio engineer Ken Scott was Bowie co-producer on Hunky Dory?
-

This is the kind of great factoid stuff that fans of classic rock can get when perusing RC, and I strongly urge you to seek out a copy-or even maybe a subscription-and get the full story, mate.
-

Then find out first hand if there's Life on Mars?

-

Maybe next month's RC, with Telestar Joe Meek, will let us in on the truth...
