Anyone get Uptown #58 yet?

Again it's re-treading over lists of old concerts, bilbiographies and songs P has written for others. It really does seem totally out of ideas bar correcting semantics in updates of old issues.

Some shoddy research in Frankfurt 88 review: not finding out who sang original "Just Like A Baby" when in same paragraph they even namechecked the very same Sly and Family Stone regarding another cover from show.

Not even a review of NEWS. By time they publish one, the album will have been discussed to death if it hasn't already...

Hehe good point. Yet it's been available in shops long enough now to have reviewed by print time surely? Forget NPGMC/Music Today's inadequacies.

Not even a comment on THAT "Ways Of The Pharaoh" e-mail.

So "Just Like A Baby" is a Sly number?...why not email UPTOWN and tell them that.

I wrote an article for Uptown back in the day, and they're really nice people to work with - I would write for them again if I had an idea to be excited about and Per was interested - I would like to see more folks who write get involved with the mag in whatever form it's in - it really could use the content.

I've e-mailed them before, never got a reply let alone a correction in following issue.

Doesn't really inspire the communal effort Anxiety suggests...
