Remember Studio 54? Remember magazines? The nightclub that defined disco debauchery in Manhattan in the late 1970s had a legendary three-year run under the founders, Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell.
Reopened under new ownership in 1981, the club kept going—with the help of a 1982 specialty publication called "Studio 54: The Magazine."
The first issue, from 1982, is a time capsule of early 1980s celebrity culture. Interviews with Peter Allen, Valerie Simpson, and a host of other stars fill the pages, along with lots of black and white shots of A-listers partying.
Studio 54 apparently stayed open as a nightclub until 1986, but the cache was gone. And the magazine? That's a mystery. But based on the ad above, they had big plans to keep publishing!
