Buy It Now auction of one or more issues, of your choice, of the UK music paper publication 'Musicians Only', published in 1979 and 1980.
This publication was aimed at both professional and amateur musicians, with articles on featured artists covering the whole mainstream music spectrum in the UK - rock and pop, folk, jazz, etc. There were also technical and music-making features, looking at music production, playing, tuition, along with record reviews, live music reviews, classified adverts, and dealer listings, etc.
This listing is for individual issues - one or more, of your choice (use the drop-down box to select number required), from the 60 available.
The Buy It Now price is NOT a single price for the full collection of 60.
Quickest bidders will get their choice of the best issues. I'll update the listing as issues sell and get struck from the list.
There are 60 issues to choose from, I've listed their publication dates below, with the main feature artists and articles. Sorry, but it's totally impractical to list or photograph absolutely every article, record review or live review. Will do my best to answer reasonable questions regarding particular issues, but I will not entertain any requests to search the whole set of issues for particular artists.
Listed as Buy It Now, but with a wide range for acceptable lower offers. Use the Make Offer button if needed.
Pick an issue or issues based on your artist or other preference, and either Buy It Now or Make Offer. You will need to let me know, either in advance of bidding, or at the time, of the issue(s) you want. First come, first served. Please do not bid without letting me know which issue(s) you are interested in. You can do this with the "Note from Buyer / Note to Seller" field when completing the purchase.
If anyone wants to buy the whole lot, or a significant subset of the whole, or the remaining issues, contact me through eBay messaging to discuss agreeing on a price. Bear in mind, that the longer you wait to do this, the more likely it is that issues will be sold individually. (EDIT - Sales have started, a number of issues have gone already - see the SOLD markers below) The total weight is roughly 6kg, they could all be sent by Royal Mail Medium Parcel for postage cost of £6.99.
