Culling is coming

A skip arrived at my door today and the horrible task of clearing out 40 years worth of detritus began.
I came across my Q and Mojo collection both of which went from 1st edition to sometime around 1997.
It feels wrong just to throw them in the skip so, if there is anyone who can collect them, you are more than welcome.
My small (maybe 12) collection of The Face have already hit the skip.

All my cassettes are going binward too, there's undoubtably some gems in there but, I think they already can be found online.

The VHSs have a reprieve and will languish for another 14 years in the garage.

Monday deadline folks

If you have the issue of Sky with the topless Wendy James on the front of it (late 1989, I think), I"ll take it off your hands for...er...research purposes... :lol:

I went through the same thing a while back - but snipped all the Sisters related stuff out of the mags before recycling.

Feel your pain mate. It's goddam difficult to not get sentimental over some old stuff. Be strong.

Although if I was you I'd be holding on to the cassettes.

Good news everybody!

and bad...

in this cull I finally found the interview with (The Divine) Patricia Morrison from the NME 12 Nov 1988, but only the first part. :|
IIRC the second part was only a few paras, so most of the meate is in what I found. I'll scan it ASAP and get it loaded. :D
