I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread is, but I'm curious as to what this issue looks like and generally goes for price-wise. The Smurfs are pretty huge world-wide, eh?

 

Peace,

This belongs on a web page somewhere. Surely there's something like this out there already. Anybody know?

 

I expect at some point this thread devolves into a discussion of what makes an issue a key at all.

 

What about major and minor keys.
