Encyclopedia > Record Mirror

Record Mirror was a British weekly music newspaper.


It competed with New Musical Express, Sounds, and Melody Maker, but had the smallest circulation of the UK music weeklies and was considered to be the least important of the four.

Now defunct UK music magazine, published weekly from October 10, 1970 - April 6 1991. ... Melody Maker, published in the United Kingdom, was (until its closure) the worlds oldest weekly music newspaper. ...
