Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

The year has flown by again, and I just want to say thank you to all our friends, fans and readers who have supported us in 2023.

Record World International is continuing the legacy of the trailblazing magazine of the past, but our new mandate is to honour the legacy artists who were there the first time around and to give new Indie artists a chance to be heard in a global market.

We couldn’t do it without the music, so the big thanks truly goes out the singer/songwriters, bands, artists and especially our PR companies who keep us in the loop of the current music out there.

As we head into 2024, we want to wish you a Happy New Year and will leave you with the complete lyrics from the famous Scottish poet, Robbie Burns:

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I’ll buy mine!
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night
The seas between us Lord and swell
Since the days of auld lang syne

For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?

For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
