I'm sure I've seen a re-print somewhere, and I'm wondering if this is it? Or is it original?

Cheers,
David.

GRAMOPHONE magazine reprinted number 1, vol 1 in 1973 for their fiftieth anniversary, and again for some other later anniversary. The 1973 reprint was in single leaves glued at the inner edge, rather like a "perfect binding" so if you had it before you, it couldn't be mistaken for the real thing.

The front page shown is in fact the cover. The description is too imprecise to judge whether this is the real thing (which of course was also held together with staples) or the reprint. The earliest numbers of the magazine aren't common - but number 2 is apparently the most scarce.
