Between October 1972 and December 1975, 35 issues of the magazine were published in London, by Hanover Books, sometime in Berners Street W1.

About the article in the November 1972 issue, Ian
Woodward writes:
"Notes on Dylan Bootlegs - to live outside
the law you must be honest", a 6-page article by Tony White (not his real name),
was published in the November 1972 issue of LET IT ROCK and there were several responses. In the December issue, there was
an article entitled "Dylan's views on Bootlegging" by Anthony Scaduto, based
mainly on interviews with Dylan prior to the completion of the
biography. There was also a letter from Dave Wheatley on the "Letters" page.
In
addition, those who wrote to Tony White with comments received a
13-page, tightly typed, privately circulated, A4-size list of corrections and
additions (see the 1st page above). The bootleg LPs and tape recordings that had begun to
circulate in 1969 and the early 1970s were often inaccurately and
confusingly annotated. The Tony White article and its supplement, by
pooling information from a number of collectors, aided the task of putting some structure on a previously hidden world, into which
Greil Marcus had first cast a little light in his 1969 ROLLING STONE article.
