Soul Music Monthly was the second name of Soul magazine, a UK fanzine started in 1965, which aimed to cover the whole ‘soul’ scene, from the earliest recorded blues artists to later commercial or pop rhythm and blues.

Dedicated to the history of R&B music.

Started in 1975. Back then, a group of record collectors sought to catalog the history of R&B music, connect record collectors to each other, catalog records, and promote that R&B music was still available. There was also a sentiment that rock was taking all the radio time from R&B, and this was an avenue to influence people and stations that R&B was still around.
