Billboard is an American entertainment
and music magazine. It was
first published in November of 1894 and is distinguished as being among the oldest trade
magazines in the world. The magazine originally
focused on bill posting and outdoor amusements
before concentrating on music and related fields beginning in the 30's
Most of the 1980's, 90's and 00's issues are available thanks
to a donation by chart historian Monty Greenly. Many
60's issues come from
Kees Brinkerink.
Other contributors include Rodolfo Ovalle, Rob
Hawkins, and Arie den Dulk.
