Description
Offered is 78 Quarterly magazine, No. 12, which despite promises of
continuing issues, turned out to be the final one, I believe.
Those who subscribed to these terrific 8.5" x 11" issues (this one has
115 pages) found truly fascinating articles and photos dealing
exclusively with old 78s, with the focus on Jazz, Blues, and Country
from the late 20's and early 30's.
The segment in these 78Q magazines which drew the most interest
(and controversy!) was the "Rarest 78's" articles, in which a handful
of very advanced collectors of rare Jazz & Blues records gave their
opinions and estimates on the number of "known copies" of the super
rarities. This issue has the rarest records beginning with the letter W
through Z. Check and see if you have any of these rarities in your own
collection.
This issue has a listing and additional info on Gennett's mystery label,
the rare Superior 300 series.
In addition, there are segments on long lost Paramount photos, Ma
Rainey & Her Jazz Hounds, and Marshall Owens, as well as photos of
Paramount labels of which only 1 or 2 copies are known to exist-mind
boggling stuff!
This particular magazine is in excellent condition, no page tearing or
writing. I think it was the only issue to feature a binding, as opposed
to staples.
