Goldmine, established in September 1974 by Brian Bukantis out of Fraser, Michigan,[1] is an American magazine that focuses on the collectors' market for records, tapes, CDs, and music-related memorabilia.[2] Each issue features news articles, interviews, discographies, histories, current reviews on recording stars of the past and present. Discographies are included, listing all known releases. Coverage includes rock, blues, soul, Americana, folk, new wave, punk and heavy metal.

Goldmine was published bimonthly until 1977, when it became a monthly publication. It returned to a bimonthly frequency at the beginning of 2022. Its headquarters is in New York, NY.[1] Editor: Patrick Prince (2010-2012, 2015-Current). Its writers have included Dave Thompson, Harvey Kubernik, Jeff Tamarkin, Colin Escott, Gillian G. Gaar, David Nathan, Steve Roeser, Jay Jay French and Debbie Kruger.[3]

The magazine was produced on newsprint in a tabloid format. It recently[when?] had a radical overhaul, complete with more color photography and more interviews. The format is now a large full-color, glossy magazine, no longer on the old broadsheet. It is now published by Project M Media.
