I've never been much of a metalhead, but I was so obsessed with CREEM at this point that it didn't matter to me if they were doing a metal special. I still needed this issue. Take a look at some of the tropes and treats offered here 40 years ago...

ReplyDeleteI saw this issue on ebay months ago and should've bought it. Now I can't find it anywhere yet. Creem was fun to read. I was 16 when this issue came out then a couple of months later I bought Def Leppard's 1st album at JC Penney's lol. Thanks Creem ;)
