Every cover of TP has now been posted, with an accompanying description of the issue, and other fun tidbits, courtesy Ira Robbins. The best so far: They took naked photos of Brian Eno for issue 6, only to be told they could not be printed (the world cries!). Check it here:

thanks yancey, i was only 14 in 1984 - so i never did buy any Trouser Press mags. (not that they would have been stocked in my small town, a question for Mark S/ DR C/ Whoever.. Was Trouser Press on sale in London? at the time)

a flock of seagulls on the front cover of issue 89. just look at the hairstyle !

Go to Williamsburg, you'll see that hairstyle every freakin' day.

I bought this every month at the little local record store throughout high school. I still have a stack of 'em somewhere.

Check out #13: "...and NO DISCO!!" Dorks.

Geez, and #33, too: "NO DISCO! NO BEE GEES!" No shit!

Christ, I would have hated being an adult in the seventies.

They had to do something to distinguish themselves from everyone else.

I bet everyone grew tired of reading about Bumblebee Unlimited.

Important to note: Ira definitely digs disco and all of those sounds now. Think of your taste when you were 18!

Think of your taste when you were 18!

I had FANTASTIC taste when I was 18!

That was back when I liked both kinds of music -- country and western.

So on FB it seems they have been scanning in every issue.

Right now up to 43, October 1979.

And a half hour ago posted what may have been my favorite issue: #44, November 1979.

Really hard to zoom in on the Kinks Stones Pretties family tree though.
