Tampa, Florida's
MUSIC PLAYERS MAGAZINE #1
Tampa Bay's TOP Source For Music News & Interviews In The 80s (as Music Magazine)
And The 90s (as Music Players Magazine)... Music Players Was The BIBLE For Local & National Information.
Each Issue Was A FREE, 8-1/4" x 10-1/2" Newsprint Publication, Between 72 & 80 Pages
Featuring News, interviews, Record Reviews, Club Listings, Photos, Comics & A Syndicated Article By Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
These were distributed to clubs, record stores and venues in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota and represent a virtual time capsule of what was happening in the Tampa Bay area throughout the 90s. They're extremely hard to find now, 34 years later, but I've come across this very rare copy that has been in storage for over THREE DECADES.
