RIP Steve Harley, in the holiest glam pantheon of Bolan, Ferry, Hunter, Freddie, Hunter, Smiley, Maels, Johansen, etc --and as talented (or more) than all those guys--I have no idea why he or Cockney Rebel never "broke" in the States, but he was a unique, genius songwriter and singer, and this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, made me cry once (he could rock too). Enjoy the vintage 1974 pop fest footage too of hippies with giant joints.

The latest Secret History of Chicago Music attempts to tackle the career of the insanely prolific Bernard Reed. I've seen the man perform with Screamin' Jay Hawkins! Reed is an in-demand blues bassist for some years now, so I included him in this Winter Blues series-- but his contributions to soul, funk, rock, pop, gospel (and possibly even grunge and comedy?) cannot be understated. Read all about this living legend in the new Chicago Reader, and thanks to Kevin Johnson for being BR's biggest champion, and Aaron Cohen's book for info as well! Link in comments...

Some memories of Damo at my pad (in front of the Hanna-Barbera kitchen wall) and cooking us Eurasian soul food before we played together in 2007 (goofy John Herndon/R Lowe fist bump there)! Stoked to jam in the great one's honor with fellow sound carriers and screen the doc on Damo, Energy, Monday at the California Clipper at 7:30!

So this ebay as**at actually had the gall to write me and ask what these early mags of mine are worth (cuz they're "not his thing"), so he could jack up the price, as he even said he found these (and of course I get nada of this pure profit).
So if y'all are bored, feel free to mess with this guy and "offer" $4 for these and make him see the worthless nature of my catalog. Also, most of these are "second printings, so feel free to call him out on that too.

On each individual issue you will notice a piece of hook and loop fastener (velcro) attached to the cover of the issue. All issues are complete with all pages present. All pages are securely fastened.
