Shucks! If it weren't for the problems (and expenses) involved in getting 
them up
here to Oshawa, Ont'o., Canada...I probably would have liked to have had 
them,
and enjoyed reading them!

Back in the days when libraries had actual BOUND copies of the real 
magazines...
and not copies on micro-wotever (or, these days, digitized, I suppose...?!) 
I used
to frequent the magazine holdings of libraries! The Bloomington (Ill's) 
Public
library had bound copies of Life going back to the first issue (I read all 
of those),
and the library at Illinois State (Normal) University had Radio News (and 
its
successors) in bound copies going back to around 1920 or so, which I also
read my way through...!! Can't remember where I first saw Record Research...
but I DID immediately subscribe, and bought all the available back issues
as well...
