Very sad news. I always enjoyed his writing and his reviews. He writings (and no doubt personality) became a little crotchety in his old age, but it was an endearing crotchety. I always felt that he told it like he heard it. He brooked no bs. RIP Harry.
I got sucked into this crazy hobby after a colleague gave me a TAS many many moons ago. RIP Harry.
I am sad to hear of his passing. I started to read TAS in the early 80s.I kept a copy on me where ever I went just to re-read again and again. This was at the time when the publication was a pocket size book. The article's always pulled me in with excellent reviews and especially the LP reviews of Mercs and RCA's. A little bit of my youth is gone I feel. So please R.I.P and God bless.

Not sure where he is headed but I know I would enjoy his company and I don't think I will be in Heaven.
RIP Harry, I too started this hobby back in the 80's and Harry's review were the best, I remember when the mag was pocket size too. those were the days. On Friday after cashing my paycheck the next stop was Discomania to check out the new Vinyl. RIP Harry and Thank You for your contribution to our hobby.
