Record Time Magazine nbr 4

Description

Record Time Magazine is now available from the UK on the 14th Floor!

Record Time is a print-only magazine that covers obscure, unusual, forgotten and neglected records. It’s not touting anything other than used records that get passed over a hundred times, but should be bought for a bargain bin price because they are great. It’s also about the arcane knowledge and stories one learns when they fall off the edge of fandom to freak. Fabulous or not!

It’s a similar format to the legendary Ugly Things Magazine, though the content is a bit broader. A lazy description is it’s like Mojo if it was done by record freaks who don’t care about the music industry and are sick of reading about the Beatles!

ANNOUNCING RECORD TIME No. 4 (4/15/26)

Let’s talk about Record Time No. 4! After last issue, when Larry Hardy of In The Red Records said that Record Time is the best mag going, I took it as a challenge to make our fourth issue as good or better. I’ll let you and Larry judge if what we have is better than last time around, but I’m confident that RT4 is just as good as the rest. What’s good about it is the innards and this is what’s inside:

• The turmoil of the Gibbs family and the wonderful run of Bee Gees records when the brothers were at their personal worst;
• A hip hop through the Roxanne Wars, the longest running answer song spree ever;
• The splendid freakiness of Kentucky’s Sapat;
• The Frost and their horny masterworks;
• Finnish trash Smack’s hard rock perfection;
• Guitar instro whizz Travis Wammack;
• A primer on the romantic darkness of the Mexican Bolero;
• Golden Earring and their struggle to crack the USA;
• The great 90’s garage punk label Bag of Hammers;
• The Allman Brothers Band on the skids; anti-punk songs by bitter old rockers;
• Japanese 70s teen idols Chaco & Hells Angels; steel band funk; country studs do rock & roll;
• Rocketship goes ambient; wretched music biographies; power pop zines; our 12×4 with Scott Derr, Erin Yanke, Joan Toledo, and Jello Biafra; and more!

Contributors include: Pete, Fred de Vries, Stella Beratlis, Owen Maercks, Johnny Sunshine, Eric Davidson, Laurent Bigot, William Tutton, Mike Trouchon, Eric Friedl, Jay Hinman, Bob Beatty, Ryan Wells, and others.
