Next to the books topic, there is always a place for MAGAZINES thread,

I start it with a link to the excellent blogspot, where all (ALL!) SMASH HITS mag scans are being posted by an enthusiast -
http://likepunkneverhappened.blogspot.com/

You will find tons of interesting info there, and the magazines scans are being added constantly,
it's amazing that the mags are posted with an exact 40 year interval, this February he posts magazines issued in February 1981,

enjoy some useful reading,

and do not hesitate to add scans of mags here.
