Various Artists – Audion Magazine #36 (Multimedia)

I had a good friend whom I worked with at a record shop in Los Angeles called Dana, who was probably 20 years my senior or so, and he was always amazed at how I managed to retain so much information at a young age (I was 23 when I met him) about prog, psych and other weird musics.  I told him it was simple – I had family who liked weird things, and I bought Audion Magazine quarterly without fail for many years.

I’m very happy to see the Freeman Brothers, who are responsible for this magazine and Ultima Thule Mail Order, for republishing these magazines digitally, complete with a fair number of legally licensed audio samples.  Each magazine concentrates on some classic prog legend, is stuffed with reviews, and are written in an easy-to-read, enjoyable style.
