Index of the journal "Tracking" (1988-1992) |
 |
edited by Steve Jones |

At their 1987 meeting in Pittsburgh, the U.S. branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM) decided to begin publication of a journal. The journal's title was Tracking: Popular Music Studies and Steve Jones was elected editor. He edited the journal while he was at the University of Wisconsin — Eau Claire, and for two years at the University of Tulsa. At the 1992 branch meeting in Denton, Texas it was decided to "upgrade" the journal, and thus was born the Journal of Popular Music Studies. Since Tracking had up to that point published four volumes (each with two issues) it was decided the new journal would begin with volume five. The contents of Tracking were made available on Internet. We reprint them here for those who are interested. |
