RE: The "New Look" Gramophone

Just to clear up the circulation issue, here are the official ABCs (Audit Bureau of Circulation) of each major UK classical music magazine title, which kind of suggests that Gremin is closer to the truth than you think...

 

Gramophone – 32,313

Classic FM – 32,534

BBC Music Magazine – 42,810

Oh, and those are international sales, not just UK ones.

The "headline" ABC average  (which is presumably the one Haymarket quotes) includes subs, but it should be broken down on your "Standard Certificate of Circulation" into categories such as Newstrade/single copy sales, single copy subs, bulk sales, etc.

On the circulation issue, in the seventies and eighties Gramophone always used to report the ABC numbers monthly - this was when its circulation was on the rise... then it suddenly stopped ... I wonder why ....
