Jazz mates (日本グラモフォン・ジャズ・クラブ機関誌)

Jazz Meets Issue 6, Published June 5, Showa Year 44 (1969)

The inaugural issue ran from November Showa Year 42 (1967) to Issue 9 in September Showa Year 45 (1970), after which it ceased publication. At that time, purchasing a gramophone record with an enclosed purchase card (attached to a string) and sending it to the jazz club enabled one to become a member and receive a non-sale institutional magazine. The content primarily featured introductions to records and musicians, with a “Fan Corner” where members could submit contributions, making it quite enjoyable.
