Strawbs had good publicity connections and features on the band found their way into many of the musician-oriented magazines, particularly Beat Instrumental and the prog/rock mags, as well as, during their "Part Of The Union"-fuelled teen/glam/pop heyday, into magazines where they shared headlines with the likes of the Osmonds and David Cassidy. The een girl mags in particular had their annuals, published late each year - but dated the following year in order to maximise sales - for the Christmas market - some good, some pretty dreadful - the Strawbs intruded briefly into this world for a while in the early 70s ...

The latest release or upcoming tour would be announced in the music press and often there would be a full or half page ad as well. Strawbs scored some very well designed ads in their time - A&M in particular used to have great design in the 70s.
