    Did PROG Issue #72 (Vangelis) Ever Make it to your Door?

    It is now coming up on 2 MONTHS since PROG Issue #72 was sent to the newsstands. I still have not received it in the USA. Anyone with subscriptions receive their copy?

    PROG 72 on newsstands 12/7/16
    PROG 73 on newsstands 1/11/17 this as per PROG's FB page.

    Prog 72 went on sale Weeks before receivership later that month.

    Unless they are still using Sailing Ships......it doesn't take 60 days to deliver a magazine.......

    I'm due for renewal in March.........doubtful it will take place if they cannot deliver.

    Ever since the buy out(or whatever you want to call it)I haven't seen any PROG magazines at the book store. I might just try to order them online.

    They had that issue at B&N in Crystal Lake IL. They are very consistent getting them in. Waiting on Greg Lake issue.

    yes i got my subscriber copy through the post, i also received the greg lake cover issue last week. Today I got an email from Prog thanking all subscribers and offering a free download of a pink floyd special magazine they must have previously published. there is also a promise of more news - 'Next week we hope to cover some of your questions since Prog departed from Team Rock and linked up with Future Publishing once again. The team are back together, working hard to deliver your next issue of Prog.'

    It looks like I'm stuck between a (prog)rock and a hard place. My local B&N doesn't have issue #72 and I can't figure out how to order it online. There doesn't seem to be a link for subscriptions and there doesn't seem to be a way to actually order back issues.

    I just might do it that way. That's cheaper than the newstand price. I wonder if it includes the cd though. My guess would be no.

    It's just frustrating that there doesn't seem to be any way to actually order it online through the team.rock website.

    So glad I'm not a huge Vangelis fan or else I'd be upset.

    I had better get the Greg Lake issue though!!!

    Hmm... in fact I got confused. It was the Greg Lake issue I got few weeks ago. Vangelis issue I have had for ages already

    Just this morning received issue 73 (Lake) digitally, FYI. First issue since the new ownership took over.

    Just ordered #72 on ebay. I really didn't want to. I would have rather bought from PROG themselves but unfortunately that didn't seem like an option.

    I picked mine up at the PO the other day(I wasn't home when delivery was attempted). I had to purchase it on ebay but on the plus side it actually cost me a couple of dollars less than what I would have paid for at the book store(and in new condition nonetheless).

    I subscribe here in the UK - Issue 72 (Vangelis) arrived on time (as far as I remember), #73 (Lake) was a bit late (sort of understandably) and, (somehow unexpectedly!) #74 (Tull) arrived yesterday (10 Feb).
    Looks like Future Publishing are getting their act together as far as UK operations are concerned.
    Hopefully things will improve for overseas customers - Prog is a magazine I wouldn't want to loose.

    I live in Rhode Island and just received #72 (Vangellis) last week. An unexpected surprise, although not my favorite issue, with a significant portion devoted to electronica. But still deeply enjoyed.
