I’m having another clear-out, found four music mags which might find a home on here, rather than ending up in the recycling.
Pictures in first comment (don’t want any Mod trouble) – if you want any or all of them, PM me to make sure that I see it. First come first served, of course – if I have no response by Monday, they’ll be in the recycling bin on Tuesday.
See you round the campus!
I shudder to ask, but what condition is the Kate Bush magazine in?
Joke number 2: the other one is a Jazz Chops Mag.
…..I’ll get me gas in the car
(I don’t know, nothing but smut, what is this place coming to, etc…)
I have the Dan one and excellent it is too.
FYI: Dan and Tom have been claimed…
“I have back issues of Loaded, Eat Soup, Razzle, Whitehouse, and Escort I will let go for the right offer. I know what I have, no low-ballers. Buyer collects.”
(Oh – and this is on behalf of Moosey, who’s too shy to post it himself. But I expect him to quote “low-ballers” in the comments in a humorously risqué context.)
I briefly read that as ‘@Mousey‘ and my mind boggled.
Eat Soup? How dare you, I am not a pervert
@h-p-saucecraft
Does this mean all the back issues of Sadie Stern Monthly have gone?
Only the ones with the Hitler Diaries
“Gone to seed” is how Moosey put it – a reference to the allotment shed that houses his archives.
When I was a lad my cousin, who was a couple of years older than me, had a tree house in which he kept his ‘archives’ of Health and Efficiency. Occasionally he would grant me access to this mysterious holy of holies.
I’ve often thought that ‘airbrusher-out of women’s pubes’ would have been a fantastic job for What’s My Line.
Keep on blowing.
The Health and Efficiency Treehouse! A wonderful detail of post-war life in sleepy Southend(?) . Who could invent something like that?
A great band name too!
And you’ve been healthy and efficient ever since, @Mikethep!
Does anyone remember which mags Tarzan had in his treehouse?
National Geographic? Horse and Hound? The Tatler?
Contact mags for swingers.
Oho!
@kaisfatdad
National Pornographic
Hos and Hounds
The Titler
Shooting Times
You’re too kind, KFD. But without wishing to be too modest, I’d say I’ve been neither healthy nor efficient ever since.
You have however played a lot of badminton in the nip. Frankly, you’ve been lucky to keep the shuttlecock in play.
Your Treehouse Tales inspired me to investigate further. The mag is still being published but is not available in newsagents. It’s been going for ages.
“For decades, Health & Efficiency claimed to have been first published in 1900. The first issue under this name was actually in 1918, when Health & Vim changed its name. That magazine probably derived from Vim, first published in 1902.”

You don’t see much Vim these days!
As Uncle Monty in Withnail and I says : “I often wonder where Norman is now, probably wintering with his mother in Guildford; a cat and rain, vim under the sink and both bars on.”
“I want more Vim in my cans”
I wonder if rubbing the pages with Veet* would have worked?
* the depilatory formerly known as Immac.
Yes, but then you have a spillage and the whole mag is full of Sea- Monkeys. Oh dear no.
Oh no, it’s the Return of the Sea Monkeys.
Niche.
@h-p-saucecraft
Must you keep going Onan on about Moosey’s personal habits, HP?
He’s been curating jazz mags since he was old enough to ask kindly Uncle Billy to lift him to the top shelf in the paper shop.
That was three weeks ago.
Now he can get it over the counter.
Well, one doesn’t like to brag
I must say: this thread has taken a turn which I neither intended nor predicted.
More fool me, I suppose…
We’re still waiting to find out about this Mags. Who is this sultry vixen, and what is she giving away?
Every time I see the thread title, I’m thinking “Ho-hum, Morten and Pål have really had enough this time!”
You did write “first come, first served” which was clearly a subliminal message to Moose.
Yes, because it’s a quotation from Sucker MCs by Run DMC.
I thought of it as more your version of the bat signal.
The promise of a Bush mag served that purpose.
