I agree…. these things are fantastic. I especially love the artwork. [EDIT] Also, the panel with Barrie Beere looks like John Astin… I love John Astin.

I remember Echo and listening to Fred Astaire’s tapping. My family had a copy. Alcheringa magazine a decade and a half or more later did a flexidisc with aboriginal poetry. Used to have a copy of that too.
