The digital goldmine! (0/0 people found this helpful)

Well, this is what Rolling Stone readers have been waiting for. I've loved the magazine and explored back-issues since my teens, so as a forty-something regular reader this is a long-wished-for chance to explore the entire goldmine of back-issues at my leisure.

You can search by Issue, subject (band, artist, news-story), year, magazine issue number, even journalist or photographer. Even every advertisement has been scanned, but personally, being able to access interviews, reviews and rare morsels to do with favourite musicians is the real delight.

An important note here. It is crucial to have enough RAM on your PC or laptop, otherwise the BONDI CD-ROM reader will take ages to load or not load on sufficiently.

Anyway, here is Rolling Stone's first 40 years in a wonderful presentation at our fingertips at last. Enjoy!

THE Music reference (0/0 people found this helpful)

If you want see the place rock music had in our consciousness in the past forty years, see how other popular cultural values have been born, grew, changed, matured and passed on, you could do not do better than to read this.

If you are of a certain age you will remember certain covers, great journalists, brilliant photos, cutting record reviews and more. All this was in a publication that, to us in London in the late 70's and 80's looked better than the NME or Melody Maker wasn't so outrageously left wing as Time Out. It just looked more polished and radical at the same time than what else was availabe here in England.

Sure, it has changed it's stance and became a bit 'corporate' but so did it readers, we all got older and fatter. More importantly it is written by people who understood music and what is now referred to as "Yoof Culture". All in all this is a superb document to hopefully rekindle the embers and trigger half forgotten memories of times and places that are getting fainter by the year.

I look forward to spendng hours boring people to death quoting from age old reviews of our favourite old albums and famous old articles by Hunter Thompson and P J O'Rourke to name drop but two.

Thanks to Rolling Stone and Bondi for their enterprise in producing this package.
