Hello:

[Note: I apologize if this may technically be the ~wrong~ forum.]

I am seeking any list members who possess a complete collection of the Black Belt Magazine c. 1975.

I am looking for a specific article from that year and cannot locate it in my apparently lacking materials for that particular year and more general time frame.

Can anybody help with this?

Perhaps point me to a vendor who sells such materials? Cannot find the article and its maddening...

Can anyone please help?

Jeff

Have you tried the Black Belt magazine's website? They might have an archive section.
http://www.blackbeltmag.com/

Just curious, whats the name of the article?

Hello Gino:

Thank you for the thought, unfortunately (at least not being a subscriber any longer) if that archive exists I have no access to it. However, it appears to me that archive does not as yet exist on the site.

Can anyone verify (you being an online member) whether a full archive exists of previous Cover Pages, article lists, etc. in the member section of the Black Belt site specific to 1975 Cover Pages, articles and so forth?

Please advise,
Jeff

Hello Mr. Morris:

Well <sigh> that at the moment is one of the critical "missing pieces".

The article was done (I believe) by a fellow named Scott Russell (aka William Scott Russell). All I recall at this point was there was a HUGE FIST on the cover page and the article (again based on possibly faulty recollection) was some time in 1975 (sic. in Black Belt Magazine).

More than that I am digging to recollect more helpful materials...

Can anybody assist??? (This is maddening....)
Jeff

too vague. sorry, can't help you.

good idea Joel...try e-bay and just ask the sellers if the article is in there before you buy it.

Joel's e-bay idea is a good one. But, if you're unsuccessful there, try e-mailing Black Belt, see what they would charge for the back issue. Who knows, you might get lucky.

Hello Gino:

Ahhhh yes, the Ebay factor. Already in the process of doing that. And will send Black Belt an email too, once I can locate an actual email address/name to send such an inquiry to! I had sent something to them, several years ago, and got nothing back, what so ever.

I was simply hoping some members here might have a good collection of that period and be willing to dig through the 12-36 magazines in their collections (ie 74-76), if I was REALLY off base.

I will keep trying and hope I get ~fortunate~.

Seeking a BB magazine,
HUGE fist on the front cover
1975 (might maybe have been 1974 )
Scott Russell (author), (or possibly merely ABOUT him).

Apologies this is as maddening for me as it might be for anyone even willing to help. Hoping for the kindness of ~strangers~,

Sincerely,
Jeff

I think I may have found it...April 1977 issue. Vol 15 No. 4

In the off chance you aren't a member of ebay, I already asked the seller for you...I'll let you know when he replies.
