The Phonograph Monthly Review was a short-lived (1926-32) American version of "The Gramophone"--a magazine aimed toward phonograph enthusiasts, particularly classical music lovers. This was a particularly interesting period, with the issuance of so many previously unrecorded classical pieces (thanks to the newly introduced electrical process). Fascinating reading!

Thank you very much for that.I just did a check and see that the '26 I found is the second issue.I might go back and see if there are anymore in that pile of sheet music.I really just skimmed it fast.As for the reading.....I can't wait to see what's in them.there are some great ads however.

This was supposed to be the American answer to The Gramophone Magazine. R D Darrell got his start as a music critic with this paper. He went on to be the dean of American classical critics: he was still publishing in the 80's. He wrote a rather extensive article about this publication in a mag which I have somewhere and will dig out later.

Tim Gracyk's site has a nice article about the The Phonograph Monthly review.
