Sir Henry at Rawlinson End is on the front cover, there is an interview with Mike Livesley who is the mastermind of the latest revival inside, together with Alan's notstalgic look at the original mastermind, Viv Stanshall. Doug raves about Ra Ra Riot, whilst John goes to see Arthur Brown. Jon goes all South American whilst Alan muses on French-Frith-Kaiser-Thompson, and interviews the legendary Fred Frith. We send legendary rock and roll photojournalist Armando Gallo to a desert island,  review a book about C S Lewis, and there are radio shows from Strange Fruit and Mack Maloney, as well as the return of Friday Night Progressive, the latest installment of the saga of Xtul, and columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna who this week has Elvis in her sights (uh huh huh). There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons ouyside zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
