With the last
issue a year and a half prior, this one marks huge changes, with a
new staff,
in a new city, and I think, more of a concentration on lesbian (rather
than just women's)
music...but then to be fair, by this time there was more lesbian music
to write about.
Oh, and the print got smaller, so my scans had to get larger. I can
definitely see the
editorial influence of Toni Armstrong Jr, who would go on to found
"Hot Wire," in 1984.

no search engine will find data on it, so I'm inserting
below the major lesbian music "names" and titles
so they can be found ]

Just a
comment, remember the focus of this publication was on Women,
and not Lesbians as such.
My reason for providing this section is to provide historical
information on Lesbian Musicians,
so will only provide "searchable tags" for those artists.
Of course there may be many other artists
in these issues who were or are lesbian; I could only identify the
ones in my knowledge.
And I do note that the list of "tags" is getting longer,
because as time went on, there simply
were more lesbian musicians to write about.
