Classic Rock magazine great, Future Publishing atrocious

Reviewed on 2020-11-19T22:46:21

Love Classic Rock magazine. hate the pirates that run it. After many years as a loyal member,I received my renewal. £55. Go on line and it is £39.99 from Classic Rock and many other organisations. Despicable. So, loyal customers can be expected to be ripped off by the thieves that run this company?

Awful company

Reviewed on 2020-02-13T20:07:12

Awful company - I've unsubscribed from their Photography Show marketing emails three times now (I have the screenshots to prove)but they still keep sending me loads of spam. BTW the Photography show is also not worth the effort.
