Good Times Magazine: Rock and pop legends, nostalgia & current music highlights at a glance
Just reading the synopsis makes you feel like you've been transported back 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years. Fabian Leibfried and his team have once again compiled a 116-page potpourri of great stars for the slowly aging rock and pop fan.
The Beatles , Robert Plant , Bobbie Gentry , Gilbert O'Sullivan and the band Free are just a few of the names that ring a bell and make you automatically reflect on their hits. Good Times doesn't just dig out the past from the musical mothballs, but also makes a highly informative connection to the present day. Either by having the protagonists recall their heyday in current interviews ( Paul Rodgers on his time with Free), but also by Good Times always staying up to date and meticulously researching and presenting the artists' current projects. At least where this is still biologically possible.
Evidence of biological transience is the 'Deceased' section, which sadly seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Perhaps also smaller, as the rock 'n' roll heaven continues to fill up. Further evidence of what has been said: 'Remembrance Days'
An encouraging and encouraging alternative to these sections is "What's actually happening...?", which reveals that some of those who have almost been forgotten are still active. This is also emphasized by the listing of milestone anniversaries and the reviews of new releases and/or reissues (keyword: remastered) on the round silver discs.
Always informative in every issue and especially enjoyable for statistics fans: "The Album Cover Art Gallery," this time for 10cc . Other highlights include a reminiscence of the Beatles ' year of 1962 (60 years ago, it's hard to believe!) and a list of the top albums from 1982, exactly 40 years ago. It really makes you want to put one or two treasures back in the CD drawer—if available. Blessed are those who still own (or again own) vinyl. They should also take the article "Vinyl Guide" to heart to enjoy their 1933s for as long as possible.
Listing all the Good Times sections here would be beyond the scope of this article. However, to round things off, it's worth taking a look at the "Concert Calendar" at the back of the issue. Here, the aging music enthusiast (see above) can check out which of their favorites they can finally see live. There's far too much talk of farewell tours these days!
