Ascribing a specific publication date to this issue is difficult given the flux in the Newton office in this period, the havoc this caused to publication schedules, and the resultant conflicting information issued regarding intended and actual publication dates. Having said that, this issue does indeed appear to have been published in January 1976 as per the cover date, and assuming the monthly schedule was maintained despite the troubled production in this period, then 24 January 1976 is a reasonable guesstimate to pencil into your database, pending further information.
