[78-L] Collecting hobbies and their prices...

[Cary Ginell]

The first issue of Record Changer was July 15, 1942. It was preceded by Jazz Information, the first U.S. jazz collectors' magazine, published by Gene Williams, which ran sporadically from 1939 through November 1941. And contrary to your statement that Record Changer was aimed at "Pop 78 Collectors," the magazine was aimed specifically at - at least while Gordon Gullickson was running it - Mouldy Figge jazz fans (i.e. traditional New Orleans jazz).

 

Speaking of specialized collections, I have an almost complete run of Record Changers, which ran from 1942 to 1957.
