Phonograph Record was an American monthly rock music magazine that operated between 1970 and 1978. It was founded in September 1970 in Los Angeles, California, by Marty Cerf, as a rival to Creem and Rolling Stone,[1] and funded by United Artists.[2] In addition to being a newsstand title, the magazine was available through radio stations throughout the United States[1] and distributed free to music retailers.[2] It was often referred to as PRM, due to the inclusion of the word "magazine" in the masthead.[2]
