Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

Is it all impulses? Are we being made, through Freudian suggestion, to buy certain recordings? Are the jackets really jackets? Are the trends contrived? Or do they occur naturally? Well, answers to all these questions would require extra-sensory knowledge, which would be better put to finding a way to bring down the Berlin Wall. But, I will try to offer a few explanations. Trends, as they relate to Latin-American dance rhythms like the Cha-Cha, Mambo — and the now-current Bossa Nova — are, relatively speaking, normal occurrences in a business which is constantly looking for new styles and relief from the usual. This area is very much like the fashion world's fleeting romances with material, style and lengths. The usual, that is the importing of a Latin pulse, has been made the unusual through the mixture of an exceedingly lyric jazz attitude, as in Stan Getz's "Desafinado." Here again we find something that appears unusual. A jazz artist with a hit. But it really isn't. The jazz player is sort of an enigma because, of all the branches of the recording industries (with the exception of classical music), he is the mainstay of the catalogue.
