Unboxing 100+ lbs of Down Beat Issues

[@drumhanger4908]

Enjoy your KZbin post. I have every single issue of Down Beat from December 1969 thru current day in complete mint condition. Down Beat back then would let you select 3 LPs from a list when you renewed your subscription! If I recall correctly, those were mainly promo LPs. I also have many DB-Metronome, Jazz Journals from '40', '50's, '60's earlier dates that generally feature drummers. Thanks for all your shows!

@@drumhanger4908 wow I’m jealous! I think I’m going to start needing a library room as an extension off the listening room to house all this stuff

great video as always Chris a great collection of down beats you have

[@chrisashley2100]

Thanks very much for sharing these - I had a fun experience a few months ago when I found a Downbeat annual from 1967 or so at a library sale and in paging through it I found several Fender ads illustrated by my uncle who was a West Coast illustrator at that time. He must have had the Fender account because he also did their catalog covers in the 60s. So I’d be interested if you see any Fender ads as youre reading these. Cheers

@@chrisashley2100 wow, that is very cool! And yes, it seems like libraries were one of the major originators of these bound volumes. Probably did them in house. I have definitely seen fender ads in some of the issues, so that’s very cool

@@peteraliasclaudio fantastic! I love all these old publications, well and I suppose their modern editions as the case may be as well.

It’s cool, but there is an online archive

[@jazzvinylcollector]

@@stevefromchicago8277 yep that archive has been around a few years and it’s a great resource. Not limited to just downbeat either - I think there are a few other resources

[@jeshurunabinadab6560]

Isn’t this like saying “cool records but you can stream these on Spotify”? Just an odd comment to make to a guy who very obviously loves collecting physical media and such. As I’m sure most of us watching his vids do.

@@jeshurunabinadab6560 making sure everyone knew there was one, I didn’t until a year ago
