Goldmine, established in September 1974 by Brian Bukantis out of Fraser, Michigan,[1] is an American magazine that focuses on the collectors' market for records, tapes, CDs, and music-related memorabilia.
[2] Each issue features news articles, interviews, discographies, histories, current reviews on recording stars of the past and present.
Coverage includes rock, blues, soul, Americana, folk, new wave, punk and heavy metal.
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.
Its writers have included Dave Thompson, Harvey Kubernik, Jeff Tamarkin, Ken Sharp, John Curley, John M. Borack, Chris M. Junior, Colin Escott, Gillian G. Gaar, David Nathan, Steve Roeser, Jay Jay French and Debbie Kruger.
