SOUND72, 1972
This was a collecting booklet - the idea was you bought the booklet then collected the colour photos that match the black and white ones in the booklet and stuck them over the top. PG Tips cards for the music fan ...

STEREO REVIEW, 1972
Strawbs feature in J Marks' Hall of Obscurity published in December 1972 - given that early 1973 was to see them hit the single and album charts, as a predictor, he wasn't up to much .... other names touted for obscurity included Incredible String Band and Loudon Wainwright.

Another teenage girls mag, with a back cover poster of the glam'n'glitter Strawbs soon - I'd guess taken after Dave Lambert joined.

GREAT LAKE, 1973
Bursting At The Seams period press coverage in Canada, thanks to Doug LeBlanc

POPSWOP, 1973
The idea of Popswop was that fans could swop albums and singles, so there were loads of swop listings in the back. Still, this edition had a nice green room shot of the Strawbs ...

LOOK IN, 1973
Little Jimmy Osmond on the cover, but Strawbs with canine friend made the inner spread poster, with an interview with John Ford to boot
