It went officially defunct a couple of years ago.

It died in early 1989.  However, Matt Kent et al have resurrected it since
the Who Convention last September.  Unfortunately I don't have the address
to hand but will get & post it if no one beats me to it.

It's out there, and it is Roger, and I'm pretty sure he is on the cover.
I've forgotten the photographer (_maybe_ Annie Leibowitz) but she asked him
to walk into the water and in the photo his eye color matched the water
color, so she was very pleased with the way it turned out.  Keep looking,
you'll find it.
