Dear CREEM:

Boy am I bummed. Last night I saw Two Lane Blacktop — if that wasn’t enough to take the edge off, I lost my September CREEM at the show. I went back today and they had thrown it out. Gone. Before I read my number oners - Cody. The manager said, “Well it was only a magazine.” ( An attitude I had trouble dealing with.)

Well, this brings us up to date and up to a request. Is it at all possible to get a copy from you directly? It’s off the newstand. I could certainly dig it. Even pay a ransom if necessary. Thanks, keep on.

P.S. Swamp Doog is very good too.

Dear CREEM:

When I picked up a copy of CREEM I really enjoyed it (Oct.), until I read the record review.
