Yes, in those days, magazines were printed, and mailed out, or shipped to
newstands before their nominal date, in order to be delivered by their
nominal date. The intent was that people would have it by January 1st, so
it would arrive in late December.
So, the January 1975 one would have been written, copyrighted, and printed
in November or December 1974.

I looked up the Jan. 1975 issue of Popular Electronics in the Copyright
Office's Periodicals Digest. It was published on Nov. 19, 1974 if you are
looking for an actual anniversary date.
The January issue was certainly not available in November of 1974.
When did it actually get sent out and start showing up in people's
mailboxes?
