- We celebrate 40 years of Cooking Vinyl with an interview with chairman Martin Goldschmidt and MD Rob Collins, plus insights from artists and former staff members. Also in the features section, we talk A&R with James Cattermole of SoundOn and pay a visit to Kim Frankiewicz and Tom Coulson-Smith of Music Week Award-winning publishing house Concord.
