February Update
Welcome this months update. A mixed bag of goodies for you including an audio extract from the 1978 promotional single for the hi-fi company Trio. We also have an article from the 1973 Women magazine and full scans of the 1968 Toronto program. This year is building up to a busy one for us, with numerous events and projects all aiming to launch in the next 12 months. Because of this, we might be a bit busy and updates may be a bit thin on the ground. We will try our best to keep things moving along, but again we would like to ask; if you fancy writing an article or submitting something to the site, now is the time. See you soon.Posted:06/02/2010
