PLAYERS: For the progressive male.
A lot of the pages are torn or cut out of the magazines and they’re incomplete as a whole. I guess my father kept what he liked and threw away what he didn’t like. That little bit that I posted is far from all of it, there is a lot more. There are tons of interviews(many with pages missing) of famous black artist, actors, musicians, and athletes; it’s not just a porn mag it’s history. Maybe I’m going too deep, but it means a lot to me for some reason. I was a little bit hesitant posting these pictures, like Liam Neeson sending his daughter off to Paris hesitant. I did it anyway, because I thought “Hey this will be fun, you’ll add new material to the internet(If you Google players magazine it’s almost like it didn’t exist), just do it!”. Hopefully I can get more info on the magazine, when I do I’ll share it here and of course I’ll keep posting more images when I have the time.
PLAYERS: For the progressive male.
At the beginning of this year I found my fathers stash in the basement. I thought it was beautiful, page after page of gorgeous women of color, I became very interested in its origin. Where did it come from, where is it now? A quick search informed me that they’re out of business, but the question of who made it/why is it gone is still at the forefront of my mind. I’ve been calling anybody I could find who was involved in the creation of this magazine. I found editors and publishers who are either dead or working somewhere else now. I’ve called the places of their new employment but never got a call back. The internet is little help, so all I have are the people involved, and my dads stash. Hopefully I can get more answers from S.D. ROCKSWELL, the writer behind this quoted link. I’ll also start posting images of the stash on my blog later.
