Administrator StereoNET Posted September 3, 2023 Administrator Posted September 3, 2023 I confess, I just loved MAD Magazine as a kid and just couldn't wait for my next issue to arrive in the mail. I came across this extract this morning from 1958, some twenty years before I entered the world, 30 years before I knew of the magazine, and forty years before I came to appreciate hi-fi. 7 2 9 1

Guest Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 What a great run ... Quote Sadly, after what has been an amazing journey, the licence for the Australian edition of MAD has come to an end, with the last issues to publish being #92 of MAD Classics, and #537 of MAD in late December 2022.
Jakeyb77_Redux Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) I had a huge MAD collection. I still have some from before man went to the moon….. great memories Edited September 4, 2023 by Jakeyb77_Redux 1
tripitaka Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 I'd seen those 'reviews' of newly released recordings before, but well worth another read, brilliant! 1
audiofeline Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Mad Magazine did satire so well. It's a testament to the quality that much of what was published can still hold up today. My favourite parts were Spy vs. Spy, and the fold-in -- such creativity! 2

I had a mate that never did the fold in and would wait till I bought my copy. He kept his in plastic sleeves. like all good publications I only bought them for the articles……. 1
Tony M Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Yep, I also was a huge fan of Mad back in the day (late 60's early 70's) - I still have quite a few stashed away somewhere. Coming across them as I do from time to time is a recipe for a few wasted hours and lots of laughs. I'd rate several of their artists as cartoon geniuses with totally unique styles. The US seems to have lost it's sense of humour since then. 2 1

Guest Moon 600i V2 Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 I grew up on MAD in the sixties and made a lifetime commitment to Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions. Mort Drucker could parody anyone and folding the last page to reveal The Secret was worth the price. Later, I switched to Monty Python when the CBC carried them at 11:35 PM. They both got me threw a life of WTF events.
