If you have any contacts with the people who might maintain the rights to these newsletters, a curated and annotated collection in book form would both (1) be an amazing resource about this era of music, and (2) do silly numbers among us increasingly nostalgic millennials.

Thanks for this. Listening to the playlist now. I LOVED 'Other Music' even if the staff sometimes lived up to their reputation for being a bit snooty! I discovered so much music there, and a lot of it was from these weekly new release emails. Used to work a few blocks away and probably stopped in there at least once a week, and almost always came out with a little less money than I went in there with. A truly wonderful record store.

It was a swelteringly hot, magical day in the late 90s when my brother and I both picked up the first Os Mutantes album on cd at OM.
