I'm actually not familiar with those mags so maybe I'm mistaken in thinking they are "recording" related. Perhaps more music culture mags.
 
Still good stuff for libraries or any music nerdy places. I love reading old mags of any kind. It's a cool peek into the past. Even just the ads are interesting to me. I'm weird like that though.
 
;-)




Yeah, they're music culture mags. Mojo is the best of the bunch, excellent journalism.

I chucked out a load back along. A least my local authority took them for recycling not landfill.



Good point Glyn, I could get them to a recycling centre without too much trouble. Still seems a shame though.

I tried to make a scrap book. Went through all the old mags and cut out the stuff that could be useful down the road. Those tabs and tech articles went into a file folder and the rest went to recycle. I have about 150 lbs of schematics in boxes that I'm trying to sort. As I get them in PDF, I get rid of the hard copy. I'll be dead before the pile is gone.

Secondary loft installation, then if you suddenly need to read one you know where they are.  It is an alternative recycling, it is re-purposing.

James, 
 
It's a tough thing to deal with finding your mags a new home since you valued these mags enough to save them.
 
FWIW, I find it hard sometimes to accept in my life that some of the things that have given me joy and an outlet for passing my time creatively are not things that other people value .
 
good luck ,

James,
 
Most mags I can chunk without a second thought. But I can't throw away MOJO's, New Yorker's, or National Geographic's. All are worth rereading 10 years later. I say keep the MOJO's.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert

No, please, carry on Ed. I don't really want any suggestions, just some side-splitting comedy gold and brilliantly chosen uploaded pics that we all laugh at...every...single...time...for...years...
 
Perhaps a pun or two about 'clear-out?' That might get the ball rolling.
 
Hehe..Jaymes sed 'ball'...
 
Etc...


Sorry mayte, I'm plumb out of pics to upload.
 
Craigb has some.

There is an excellent idea.

Hi,
 
I've gone over some of the mags I have and pulled out the articles worth having and dumped the rest. I mean, c'mon, you look at keyboard magazine and you find 3 lines about Tangerine Dream, and 50 pages about a cheap second rate keyboard player ... it's just wrong on so many levels musically! Same with the Bass Player and Bass Magazine.

It certainly would be, if I had a loft.
