Cool. I like that magazine.

Noice! the cards.

Nice article. I work in digital publishing, so just had a read. Eight page spread in the mag, they talk to Susanah,Jill and Peggy McCreary about working with Prince. And to Michael Howe about the vault. I can't comment on the cards because they aren't with the digital edition. Issue is on sale on the 30th.

Do they talk about the actual songs on the new album? Like, have they heard them and if so, does it mention what kind of sound quality we're looking at? Are they the full songs or just snippets, like the Piano & Microphone album?

.

You could try reading the pinned thread about the album, of course.

.

And the track times have been public for weeks.

I couldn't be bothered reading through 20 pages or whatever it is to get the information I'm looking for. I have more important things to do with my time. Hence, why I asked those questions specifically to someone who has read the magazine.

.

And yet all these things are easily answered by reading the thread. Also, 20 pages isn't that much. And you don't have to read every word either, just skim each page until you notice something that might be relevant.

.

Oh, and think about this: which of those 20 pages would likely contain the most relevant info: the earliest ones from weeks ago, or the most recent ones?

.

Also, note that I wasn't addressing my questions to you

.

Not how this works.

The album gets a separate full page review. They don't comment on the sound quality at all but overall they like the album.

I will be adding this to my VAST collection of hard to find magazines in my purple collective vault..

Subscribers often get exclusive covers, and that's also the case here.

^^ Wow. They colored his irises purple?!

Publications measure such things (though of course the sales numbers are the most important metric to them).

Has anyone in the US been able to actually order this copy?

I get caught in a loop, because they insist that I set up an account -- and I'm supposed to click on an email link to set up a password. But the email never comes even though there's a message that says my email is on record without a password. Ugh.
