Not as good as offset litho but at least we got an issue out a month late. This issue was written and produced by Trev Teasdel <\/b>and re-typed and printed by Babs.<\/p>\n Virgin Records<\/b> Coventry supplied the Virgin chart and Mike O’Hare<\/b> of Virgin records did the LP reviews and placed the advert (Who’s Moses<\/i>).<\/p>\n Pete Waterman <\/b>(who at the time was running the Soul Hole<\/b> – in the basement of I Am<\/b> Boutique and then above Virgin records, supplied the Soul Hole Charts.<\/p>\n Editorial No 2 August 1973<\/b><\/p>\n Hello, Briefly the aims of the mag are to supply the the musicians \/ poets \/ artists of Coventry and district with a music and arts mag that everyone can afford.

\nHobo is back on the road after lapsing a month due to printing difficulties and many other hassles. Out of necessity a small fee (2p) is being charged for the mag. (Money certainly doesn\u2019t grow on trees!).<\/p>\n

\nHere is the unpublished July 1973 version of Issue 2 – or at least some of the draft pages.<\/p>\n
\nTeasdel and John Bargent (Bo) and printed at the Left Centre, 65, Queen Victoria Rd, Coventry
\n(now demolished but located somewhere behind the Town Crier). It was printed on an offset litho
\nsupplied by EP Thompson (author of Making of the English Working Class) while he was a
\nProfessor at Warwick University.
\nTowards the end of June, we started to put together the draft copy of the Issue two for release in
\nJuly 1973. However, John Bargent, who was paying for the printing (along with any adverts we
\nmanaged to get) left the magazine to roadie with Coventry Jazz Rock outfit Khayyam on their
\nEuropean tour. The original Issue two therefore never got published in July. However Trev managed
\nto get a second issue published in August 1973 via Babs Wainwright, who managed to produce via
\nher workplace duplicator. Some of the articles were pulled from the original unpublished issue two
\nalong with fresh up to date material.<\/p>\n
\nThis, then, consists of fragmented and surviving pages from the draft of the original issue 2 of
\nHobo, that was in preparation at the end of June 1973. It was an unfinished mock up and bits of
\nmaterial were pulled from it for the August edition.
\nGraphics mainly done by John Alderson \u2013 Guitarist with Wandering John<\/p>\n
\nCopies of Hobo can be obtained from Virgin Records, I AM boutique, The Sound Centre, The Left Centre, various music and record shops and the central libraries, not to mention the merry men and women of Hobo who will be distributing them here, there, near and far.<\/p>\n

\nAdditional Editorial<\/b>
\nHello again! For those who haven;t seen the first issue, I’ll explain briefly the purpose of this monthly magazine. It is to help promote and revitalise the music \/ art scene in Coventry and is distributed free. It is (or should be) sponsored by ads. So far we’ve had little help and consequently our pockets bear big holes! So groups, discos, shops please help as we don’t wish to have to charge for this magazine, which is non-profit making. In fact we just want it to support itself but at the moment it’s completely the reverse. Anyway – details of the Ad rates later in the mag.<\/p>\n
