A first draft of musical history in No Way Back magazine

Andy Crysell is editor of No Way Back, an archive publishing project that looks back at music and subcultures of the late 20th century, republishing stories from the music press to show how people experienced key turning points in the moment. It would be easy for No Way Back to slide into fond nostalgia, but instead of distant wistfulness, the magazine's main currency is the immediacy of its writing. Dipping into a story from The Face in 1986, or Rolling Stone in 1979, the reader is carried along on the energy and excitement of the moment, rather than ruminating on what it all means decades later. In this episode, Andy speaks about the ideas behind the project, and his ideas of where it will go next.
