Trouser Press No. 17 - 1976/1977

Trouser Press No. 17, published for December 1976/January 1977, featuring ELO on the front cover. 

Founded in 1974 by writer and editor Ira Robbins, Trouser Press began as a small publication for readers seeking thoughtful coverage of rock beyond the mainstream. Over its years in print, the magazine followed a broad and changing musical landscape, writing about established performers as well as the emerging punk and new wave scenes in the United States and Britain. Its pages brought together interviews, artist profiles, reviews, commentary, and attention to new records, documenting the connections and contrasts shaping contemporary music. As the sounds of the late 1970s evolved, Trouser Press became a distinctive chronicle of the era’s artists and ideas, and its early issues offer a snapshot of music culture as it was unfolding.
