1978 Ads: Other Venues and Miscellany, Pt. 3

5/1/78 issue:

There's some info and memories about Pantasia at a Flaming Pablum post on defunct NYC record shops.  Read about its original Washington Heights location here. 

5/8/78 issue:

I've been going through Ryan Richardson's Rock Scene archives at the rate of about an issue per day since it launched (even re-reading the ones I do own since I haven't looked at 'em in a while).  The process gets quicker around mid-'76, when they went to an 85 % pics/15 % text format.  The Kaye quote appears in his "Doc Rock" column from the July '76 issue, which I just read last week.
