Los Angeles: Bugle, 1978. Magazine. 32p. 8.5x10.75 inches, photos, ads, listings, very good pastebound magazine on newsprint and stapled semi-glossy pictorial wraps. The name and format has changed from the earlier Waltzing Bugle days. Cover "story" is the Fall Fling at the Westside bar. Numbering of issues was erratic. No on Prop 6 ad. Map to gay bars and baths. More reviews and entertainment features in this issue than in earlier issues. Very low-level free gay guide. Mostly ads for bars, and gay-owned services and shops. Various Bugle incarnations were The Waltzing Bugle and The Los Angeles Bugle. (Inventory #: 186375)
