Record Mirror Merges with Music Week.
Final Issue
6th April 1991
On 2nd April 1991, Record Mirror closed on the same day as its United Newspapers sister publication Sounds, with the last issue dated 6th April 1991. The final cover featured Transvision Vamp (See Left).
Eleanor Levy, the final editor, believed the decision to close the magazine was "taken by accountants rather than people who understand music. When I explained to one of the management team that our strength was dance music, he thought I meant Jive Bunny."
James Hamilton moved to the trade magazine, Jocks, which was changing to a dance magazine as DJ Mag.
Record Mirror continued as a four-page supplement in Music Week (See Right) from the 13th April 1991 saying that Music Week will contain the most popular parts of Record Mirror.
In later years the supplement concentrated on dance music: dance charts were later incorporated into Music Week.
