just came across of stack of these, and am curious if anyone has any favourite articles/issues to keep an eye for. Every issue seems to have one or two decent articles along with a bunch of fluff like "how to Blow Raga Rock"(no joke). The one issue i picked up has miles davis doing the blind fold test, which is kinda fly.
After Leonard Feather puts on an Archie Shepp record,
Davis[/b]: "You're putting me on with that!... I know who it is--- Ornette, fucking up the trumpet and the alto. I dont understand that jive at all. "
Feather[/b]: Actually you got that one wrong- it wasn't Ornette. It was an Archie Shepp date with John Tchicai on alto and Don Cherry on trumpet
Davis[/b]: well, whoever it is, it sounds the same--- Ornette sounds the same way. Theres where Archie and them got that shit from; there sure aint nothing there"
theres an isaac hayes/lester bowie issue with a nice cover.

they seem to get really good people for the blindfolds. it sort of makes the issue
the one from 1973 where they give a raving five-star review to the first New York Dolls LP!! the guy even had the nerve to say that the dolls succeed where mott and iggy fail (or some such bullshit)
(no joke - it's a greenish cover with an abstract drawing of a keyboard...contains articles on ramsey lewis, brian auger and the pointer sisters)
