Larry Ridley gives the first EW&F album 5 Stars, Bill Cole is all over the place covering the new New , Dan Morgenstern reviews the last album of a legend, and ads, ads, ads.
What struck me most about the reviews in this issue, more than in otehr issues I've looked at over the years, is how many of these records people still dig and discuss today. It was indeed a fertile time, and its reverberations continue.
