MAGPIE, UK
'DIRECT MAIL ORDER', then 'THE MAIL ORDER MUSIC SPECIALIST' was created in the early 90s by Colins Miles . He founded Magpie Direct Mail Order Company whilst he was co-owner of See For Miles Records (SFM), a British record label specialized in re-issue, predating the emergence of compact discs.
At least till issue #7, MAGPIE had a cover price, though it was sent free to those who had bought something from them in the previous three months. Then it became "Free! but indispensable".
Thank you to Ian Woodward for the information.
