On the cover: Eddie & the Hot Rods: Zip-Gun Teenage Punk Thunder! Peter Stanfield takes us on a highspeed thrill ride through their seminal Punk R&B years 1975-77. Also, the story of Thursday's Children's, one the Houston's top groups in the sixties, and label mates of the 13th Floor Elevators. Stooges biographer Michael Begnal gives us the lowdown on their 1970 performances at Ungano's and the existence of a lost song, "Way Back in Egypt." Also: British blues icon Long John Baldry, the Yardbirds, Vancouver's William Tell & the Marksmen and the Seeds of Time, New Jersey '60s teen punks Saturday's Garbage, '70s hard rockers Jump, Kex from Cold War Hungary, and the interwoven fables of two Scottish DIY/punk bands, the Whips and the Commercials. All this more and a lot more, including our wildly popular reviews sections covering the latest reissues and music-related books.
