Another new must-buy: Record Collector, April 2007

The new (April) issue of Record Collector has the second half of the excellent two-part feature on Theme Time Radio Hour.

Planet Airwaves, compiled by Jason Draper, is a ten page article with the transcript of Dylan’s broadcast comments on over 60 of the artists featured in his weekly radio show, covering artists with surnames L-Y.

It’s filled out by some nice photos, and the magazine’s valuable guide to CDs carrying the songs featured on Dylan’s magnifico shows.

Like the March issue (see below), the April issue of Record Collector is highly recommended.

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-end 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.
