There is more variety in this month’s magazine, from the swing and R&B of Kit Packham to the psycho of The Deltas, with the little matter of an interview with one of the big names of rockabilly, Boz Boorer, somewhere in between. We even give over a few pages to an interview with Piers Chalmers, one of the UK’s top record traders, which we hope you’ll find as enlightening as we did.

As we were about to go to press, we heard of the death of Larry Collins of The Collins Kids, a true rock’n’roll pioneer and welcome visitor to the UK over the years. Rest in peace, Larry.
