From the archives - Music Magazines


Here's a whole load of music magazines from the archives of my Big Country Collection. Some of these have numourous pages so, to save you the trouble of searching through them to find the pertinent sections, I have scanned all the relevant* pages and transcribed the words to make them easier to read and searchable!
 
*relevant items include all bands that Big Country band members have been in or collaborated with, or that may be relevant for some other reason
e.g. The Alarm, Kate Bush, Fairground Attraction, Gene Loves Jezebel, Simple Minds, Skids, U2 etc.

 
Click on a year and/or magazine to see all the Big Country and other related items in that issue.
