How come I’ve just receieved the June edition of Uncut magazine? It’s still April!
If they carry on at this rate they will have to publish 13 editions in a year.
That’s all.

Damn! Noticed a misspelling as soon as I posted. Sorry!
Edith could have helped, however I do like the misspelling, not sure if it’s i before e or e before i after c why not combine the two into a happy effect.
Double checked and triple checked to ensure perfection. Spotted the error the second after it was too late. The story of my life!
It’s the saem for all of us!
Spaek for yourslef.
Language Timothy!
There’s one if those phrases that anyone under 40 (or probably 50) doesn’t get the provenance. The sitcom was rubbish, but it gave something to the English lexicon.
See also Allo Allo – a bit rubbish, but the phrases/ quotes live on
Ooh “provenance” – Mr La Di Da Rigid Digit..
And another, although I think it unlikely we will see a repeat run of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum any time soon
I recall asking this question back in the old days of the Word magazine / blog. The response I get from Mr Hepworth was (if I remember correctly) that its all to do with shelf life in the newsagents – if a magazine comes out dated June, folks are less likely to buy one dated May (even if its a different magazine)
There is also a big market for these magazines in the USA/Canada and they are shipped out there by Ocean freight normally (Airfreight is too expensive).
Transit time door to door is around 3 weeks so you effectively lose best part of a month.
Yes they normally appear in the book stores here where they are sold around the cover date
@chrisf
Never one to miss a trick. retro mag Classic Rock has apparently now started backdating its issues so June comes out dated February, etc
There were 13 editions last year. The one between Dec 23 and Jan 24 (Take 320) was labelled “Review of The Year 2023”
It would seem reasonable. Most readers get 13 pensions a year.
Arf!
And the American Beatles 65 album came out in 1964.
@Dai
A – predictably – early example of the Fabs’ always being ahead of their time
Tell that to Zager & Evan’s!
Arf’!
Is the CAN disc worth having?
It features a track from each of the live albums that have been released over the last year or so. Great cd!
@Tiggerlion Brilliant cd – track 4 from Paris 73 is worth the price of the mag on its own.
Re: Can
I have the Stuttgart 1975 and Paris 1973 releases. They’re both HUGE, of course.
I decided to skip the Brighton ’75 and Cuxhaven ’76 releases. They weren’t quite as warmly reviewed – particularly the Cuxhaven one, which is an abridged, one-disc version of the concert concerned, I believe.
My god! It’s brilliant. I already have Stuttgart and Brighton. Somehow, I missed that Paris was out. It’s the best yet.
And, in more good news, there’s volume five of the series coming out in a mere 29 days’ time:
Can Live in Aston 1977 – released 31 May

Hurrah!
And this month, it’s the 23rd of May for the July edition – I haven’t finished reading Mojo yet!
I finished reading Mojo in about 2003
I never finish reading Mojo.
