''Broadside'' magazine was a small mimeographed publication founded in 1962 by Agnes "Sis" Cunningham and her husband, Gordon Friesen. Hugely influential in the folk-revival, it was often controversial. Issues of what is folk music, what is folk rock, and ''who'' is folk were roundly discussed and debated. At the same time, ''Broadside'' nurtured and promoted important singers of the era. The mimeograph machine used to produce the magazine had been discarded by the American Labor Party. The mixture of hand-drawn musical notation, typewriter text, and the occasional hand-drawn illustration or photocopied news story anticipated a look that would be more common in zines 20 years later. By the end of the 1970s, ''Broadside'' had essentially ceased publication. Several of the songs recorded for ''Broadside'' over its lifetime were released in 2000 as (''The Best of Broadside'' ) as a 5-CD boxed set, which is the only way most of the recordings are available. ==Books== During the 1960s, ''Broadside'' put out three folio-sized trade paperback songbooks, ''Broadside Volume 1'' (Oak Publications, 1964), ''Broadside Volume 2'' (Oak, 1968, ISBN 0-8256-0112-6), and ''Broadside Volume III'' (Oak, 1970, ISBN 0-8256-0060-X). Each contained slightly under 100 songs, photo-reproduced from the original magazine. The first volume had a sewn binding, though the latter two used the glued binding more common for trade paperbacks. Each volume featured a foreword, the first by Cunningham, the second by Friesen, and the third by Irwin Silber. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broadside (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
