      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Glastonbury Festival first debuted in 1970 with 1,500 people in attendance for two-days of blues.

    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs.
