Many of us will have fond memories of going into the local record store to pick up the latest Rip It Up magazine
Launched in June 1977, it was a free monthly music magazine, distributed through record shops nationwide.
Now 13 years more years of Rip It Up, from 1986 to 1998, are able to be read online.
Chris Bourke was editor during those years, he talks to Jesse about the digital update.
