The entire series has now been archived on CD, 357 black/white

Explorers news, interviews, reviews etc, but also a wealth
of related artists... Richard Strange (including a 1981 interview),
Doctors of Madness (including a complete band history), Lords

album), Ian Mitchell Band, Last Touch, many more.
Includes discographies, biographies, family trees, press cuttings,
much more. Unpublished in any other form. Photos were taken
from one of no more than three surviving complete sets, and

the series - however, all are readable, while the bmp/bitmap
format allows the user to print and reconfigure pages at will.

originals of several covers.
PRICE $15 + shipping: $1 USA, $2 international.
