a few things of possible interest show up in the billboard archives via google books

here's one from 94 i think

Anyone else stumble across anything over there?

There's quite a few brief mentions of interesting stuff, sometimes teasing such as september jones geting a name check but nothing else on her. Loads of adverts with images, the soul sauce soul columns, some of the record industy stuff (did post two bits about northern related bootlegging in other thread) along with looks at current trends are fairly interestin. Loads of brief label and 45 news as well...

Mike, Google Books search for Billboard issues is quite a nice feature. One could spend many a happy hours there (wish I had the time for that).

There's a thread about it from december 09
