1978 Issues
These are the issues of Sounds that came out in 1978.
Some of the issues I have will be available on this site (click the link on the date or picture to take you to the issue which will be available via my Flickr and Google page).
Some of the issues may just have pictures which will be there to showcase what the issue front cover was and will be there for reference.
If anyone has any issues that are not available on this site and are willing to scan them and make them available (from any year) then please get in touch via the Contact page.
