Reboot...Issues 19 and 20...

I've added the URL of the checklist site below the main title, to save me making a link on every post, sorry it isn't a proper link, but if you cut and paste it into your address bar it's usable.  Alternatively you could always bookmark the site, probably a few of you have already done that....and on to the next two....Normal service is resumed with a rescan of one of mine (No.19), and No.21 is one I acquired a while back on Scanarama, and I still have the original before I resized it for the site, the name of the supplier evades me, but it's probably one of zeg's , thanks to whomever anyway...and they're even both complete...!!!

There'll be a proper update with two new issues over the weekend.

Two more for you, No.10 is yet another Daz archive copy, there are a few of them this year, this one is missing pg1 of Kung Fu.  (n.b. No.10 has the Elton John cover which was originally meant for No.1 of 1975 but the issue wasn't printed due to a strike so the cover and interview were moved to issue 10). The other one is a Daz too but it is complete.

Reboot...issues 38 and 39...

Something interesting, on logging into Rapidshare yesterday to get something, I was informed that my file space has been lowered to 10 gig, whether this is a pre-cursor to getting my account cut, or whether I will get to keep this space I'm not sure yet.  The space is holding everything I've uploaded to Rapidshare so far, so i'm not going to change any more links for now, and we'll see what happens on July 1st...

There is less than a gig of space left in Rapidshare now, so I will have to keep uploading new stuff to MediaFire.
