SUMMER 1996 • NUMBER TWENTYFOUR

“It’s been almost four months since we announced an expanded focus for this publication, and I can honestly say that not a day has gone by without all of us here at VisionMagik Studios — as well as our friends and associates across the country — being absolutely thrilled and busily engaged in this transition. For loyal readers of our former format, rest assured that we have not abandoned our commitment to commercial Karaoke. We feel that all of the information we’ve gathered together in this issue is equally valuable to the DJ, Karaoke and nightclub industries, and that the magazine you now hold represents a quantum leap in quality from cover to cover — from editorial to design to product delivery — that serves as a uniquely diverse, yet comprehensive, quarterly trade journal. And the best is yet to come. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. We will continue to pursue a role as the cutting-edge, daringly different forum and voice for you, the working professional.”
