What was founded first, Playboy or Goldmine?
Goldmine (magazine) Goldmine, established in September 1974, by founder Brian Bukantis out of Fraser Michigan is an American magazine that focuses on the collectors' market for records, tapes, CDs, and music-related memorabilia. Each issue features news articles, interviews, discographies, histories, current reviews on recording stars of the past and present. Discographies are featured, listing all known releases. Coverage includes Rock, Blues, Country, Folk and Classical. Other features include classified ads, trends, and a show calendar. At one point its chief competitor was DISCoveries (with more of an emphasis on 1950s oldies) which later was purchased by the same owner before folding into it as a single publication.
Real Gold Real Gold is a London-based creative collective, formed in Summer 2006. The collective has been profiled in I-D magazine, Arena and The Guardian. There is a heavy use of cataloging with their releases and events very similar to that of Factory Records. Deano Jo, the founder of the collective, was listed in The Independent's 2009 feature on 'The 15 people who will define the future of arts in Britain' and profiled in Dazed & Confuzed's article on the world's most inspiring young entrepreneurs.
