Glad to be of assistance! That treasure trove of Billboards on Google Books has brought many hours of pleasurable eyestrain, reading everything from the stories to the record promo ads down to the tiny-type Downstairs Records ads. It's a real step into a time machine, as well as a "remember him?" memory test for those of us who were there...
Thanks tmob for bringing this treasure of magazines to our attention. I'll be doing a lot of that eyestraining in days and weeks to come. It's a guilty pleasure of mine to peruse music charts from the past and with the stories, columns and ads surrounding them, it helps transport us back to that time. These magazines help bring more truth to those times because they were written while everything was happening rather than our own thoughts and memories which can often romanticize the past.
