Thanks for the extra information. I agree that the point of the story is completely unchanged. I just like to make sure the details are correct when telling stories so that they can't be challenged on (usually) irrelevant grounds.
I also agree that it applies to the magazines. In my opinion quarterly was the best, bi-monthly was good. By the time they both went monthly the quality dropped to levels that there is much that I simply skip over.
When the primary motivation becomes making money, then the magic is gone. When the magazines were quarterly there were always a few new components actually worthy of review. Can you imagine a monthly magazine with 1 (or at most 2) reviews per issue? Then the problem would be coming up with enough worthwhile "think pieces", interviews with interesting people, and album reviews. The only benefit (to the reader) would be when a truly exception product were released that you would know about it two months earlier than if the magazine were quarterly.
The main reason it is done is to sell 3x the number of ad pages. (It also keeps the name in front of the public at the newsstand. Subscribers wouldn't care.)
