This a magazine called Sonorama (Thanks Judy ) I found it in a stack of Japanese singles I bought a few years ago. It looks like a light current affairs magazine with 6 flexi discs, so you could play the magazine as well as read it. I have not attempted to play the flexi’s yet. [click on image to enlarge]

Flair Magazine from 1950 lasted a year. It was an early example of magazine as art object. It was a lavish magazine, most issues had die cut covers, fold out pages, and attached inserts.

These are from a bunch of 7″ records I picked up awhile ago. They are from the Russian Melodiya label. The majority of them are generic and one sided. I think most of them are from the late sixties. Thanks to Rika for help in translation. [click on image to enlarge]
