Back Issues
Because Vocals was a resource for serious singers and voice professionals, not a fanzine, readers still refer to their library of back issues time and again. Copies of a particular Vocals issue are orderable as long as supplies last. Thereafter we make photocopy facsimiles available. (Issues available only in photocopy form are identified here by a "P" in their code.)
Regular back issues are priced at $4.50 each ($5.50 U.S. for foreign purchases). Photocopy issues are $5.50 each ($6.50 U.S. for foreign purchases). Prices include shipping and handling. Checks or money orders only, please.
