anyone here remember this rag?....i bought every copy from like august of 74 till probably early 79. Visually it was Fantastic especially for a KISS fan like me. KISS was on the cover, every other issue. the writing was O.K. it was not Creem or even Hit Parader it was more like a rock n' roll people magazine with articles about TV show's , movies etc.
i found this online a Top 20 Fan voted album list from Dec. of 77:
1. Love Gun -Kiss
2. Cat Scratch fever -Ted Nugent
3. Going for the one -Yes
4. a Farewell to kings -Rush
5. Foreigner-Foreigner
6. Rumours -Fleetwood Mac
7. Little Queen-Heart
8. Foghat Live-Foghat
9. I'm in you-peter Frampton ( remember this stinker??)
10. Derringer LIVE !!!!!!
11. Live on stage -Blackmores Rainbow
12. book of dreams-steve miller band
13. love you live -the stones
14. Lights out -UFO
15. even in the quietest moments-Supertramp
16. Bad Reputation -Thin Lizzy
17. Grand Illusion -Styx
18. Point of no return-Kansas
19. OOP's wrong Planet- UTOPIA (excellent album !!)
20. In Color -Cheap Trick (another Excellent album
WHAT A LINEUP !!!.......brings back ton's of memories.god i haven't heard those Kansas and Styx albums since 77!!

I recall Circus as being a sort of teen beat with groovy pix for music geek boys. Aiming for a little younger age group at the time than say, Rolling Stone.
I found a bunch of these teen mags at a flea market awhile back. Fun reading. One even had a really terrible review of the MIU album. The reviewer asked; " When is this hoax going to stop? These guys haven't released any decent material for years!"

I own three issues I bought used, one from 1979 about who Circus thought were the most important people of the 70's, one on Yes' Drama album and tour and one issue on the Who's breakup in '83 that also had a review of Pete's Scoop double album. Def Leopard are on the cover of that one.

I read it nearly monthly in the late '80s, when it was all bands like Motely Crue, Poison, KISS, etc...the pop-metal set, mostly. I loved that stuff as I was just beginning to play guitar (easy as it was: "wow, I can play like Ace Frehley and CC DeVille!"), and thus the magazine. Who's drumming for whom, and why did so-and-so get a new guitarist?

i started reading circus around 74..i think in the early day's it was pretty cool. Cover stories on Freddie Mercury,aerosmith,zep , bowie as the 70's wore on it got cheaper looking , the paper stock got flimsy. Kurt Loder use to write for them ..i think a lot of guy's jumped from Circus to RS. i didn't even know that circus was still publishing ??

That's hilarious! I can't quite say with any degree of honesty that I love or listen to that stuff anymore (or even have it...all was on cassette, long since tossed, and not re-purchased). But I do have a soft spot for any music I ever loved, regardless of what I think of it now.
And as for Ace, oh yeah...the '78 solo album. Speedin' back to my baby...

Yes, that's an amzing album.
Snowblind, Speedin' Back, New York Groove, Fractured Mirror. Amazing songs.
A lot of Gene's is great too.

That Hall & Oates Circus cover is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Something about the look on Oates' face reminds of Lionel Richie's clay afro, y'know that ol' clay afro feelin'?
