I hope it is preserved. MRR was key to DIY music scenes across the US and other countries. The internet dispatched the need for it. At the time (I'm referencing the mid-late 80's), the crappy newsprint that came off on my fingers was the only way to find out what bands or cities were doing in really independent music. It's pretty difficult to put it in context in a world post-blogs, twitter, and bandcamp etc.
