You have a very good point.  Even the International Record Review,
started by and composed of many people who left Gramophone when it
became so slick, has followed along and also become slick.  Too bad.
Many magazine publishers appear to think that this is the only way to
stay current and keep their subscribers, when many do have the same
response as Kevin.
