A new quarterly online classical music magazine

Dedicated to great artists and recordings of the past
from the 78 rpm through the mono LP era
with a particular emphasis on vinyl and historical recordings

 

We will also profile those "behind the scenes" - producers, sound engineers, graphic artists - the many talented individuals who made great album possible.

In addition to full-length articles, there will be recurring departments:

  • Cover artist profile: life and work of such artists as Alex Steinweiss, et al.
  • Store focus: profiling an online or brick-and-mortar shop in the world
  • Label focus: profiling a CD/download label of historical recordings
  • Interviews with prominent and interesting individuals in the music business
  • Book Department: delving into various worthwhile titles, both new and old
  • Film Department: spotlighting lesser-known movies and documentaries
  • Far East buying guide: the Japanese & South Korean CD/LP marketplaces
  • Portraiture & Design: the various design incarnations for a particular LP
  • From the archives: highlighting a now forgotten recording or artist of merit
  • Desert Island Discs: great recordings from music's rich back catalog
  • Seller's Space: a section for dealers, but also hopefully of wider interest
  • On the web: pages of interest to collectors, scholars, and music lovers
  • R&R: a lighter section with a classical music-themed crossword puzzle and other games and coloring pages, all specially commissioned for the current issue
