Freebie

The import music magazine samplers were an excellent introduction to many bands.

Well worth the ten dollar price of the magazine.

Major chains like Barnes & Noble wouldn't provide the disc or cassette with the magazine. Of course this never stopped me from parting with my hard earned cash for the sampler-free version.

Whenever possible I would make my purchases at international newsstands. Thankfully there happened to be one down the street from my office in New York.

The four Select samplers I have are the best of the bunch.
