Strawbs had good publicity connections and features on the band found their way into many of the musician-oriented magazines, particularly Beat Instrumental and the prog/rock mags, as well as, during their "Part Of The Union"-fuelled teen/glam/pop heyday, into magazines where they shared headlines with the likes of the Osmonds and David Cassidy.
As well as the "proper" annuals (Beano and Dandy etc.) the music press got into the act of producing childrens' annuals - collections of articles, competitions, cartoon strips, meaningless trivia etc. A few of these, particularly thoes aimed at the female teen market in the early 70s featured the Strawbs .... NB. date is the year on the annual, these were generally published in late autumn of the preceding year - hence a glut of them in dated 1974 (which really reflect Strawbs popularity in UK in 1973 - in 1974 they were old news in the teeny boppper market).
