Another new must-buy: Record Collector, March 2007

The cover of the new (March) issue of Record Collector has an iconic Dylan portrait (circa 1966), promoting a welcome nine-page feature article on Theme Time Radio Hour.

Planet Airwaves is the first of a two-parter (clever move, that), compiled by one Jason Draper. It quotes Dylan’s broadcast comments on almost 100 of the artists featured in his weekly radio show (covering artists with surnames A-K; L-Z next month). It’s filled out by some nice photos, and a valuable guide to CDs carrying the featured songs.

So, apart from its collectability as an artefact, the March 2007 issue of Record Collector is a valuable guide for those contemplating following up the musos featured on Uncle Bob’s magnificent radio series.
