“Try to identify these ten album covers”
Hi, I’m the editorial intern. I’ve been asked to note that the ten album covers for this issue have been lost. The Wayback Machine preserved the challenge but not the answers, and the image files didn’t survive either, so we genuinely cannot tell you what the ten Piano Men albums were. If you played along in December 2005 and remember any of them, we would honestly love to hear from you. Your memory is now the only copy. We’re not being dramatic — that’s just how the internet works sometimes.
