80s music magazines. And fanzines

Postby Uvox » Tue Feb 09, 2021 2:56 am

Next to the books topic, there is always a place for MAGAZINES thread,

I start it with a link to the excellent blogspot, where all (ALL!) SMASH HITS mag scans are being posted by an enthusiast -
http://likepunkneverhappened.blogspot.com/

You will find tons of interesting info there, and the magazines scans are being added constantly,
it's amazing that the mags are posted with an exact 40 year interval, this February he posts magazines issued in February 1981,

enjoy some useful reading,

and do not hesitate to add scans of mags here.

Scans of "Smash Hits" competitor, "No. 1" magazine, can be found here: https://michaelmouse1967.wixsite.com/ma ... e-magazine

"Flexipop" (offbeat teen mag of the early 1980s) scans are here: http://musicmags70s80s.blogspot.com/

Scans of various music technology mags - http://www.muzines.co.uk, amazing what you can find there!

Scans of various UK & US magazines - https://worldradiohistory.com/ - including music industry papers "Billboard", "Cashbox", "Record World", "Music Week" etc., the archive is really stunning even now and promises to get bigger!
