Sauna Club (1978) – 7 weeks in, arm/shoulder still “in repair” – which means I shouldn’t strained myself to scan these 3 images – but what lovely images!

Continuing my (see Nova Project – yes, 2015! ) I pop the cassette for The Main Attraction into the VCR, and of course it starts with
WAIT!!! – oops! This has been in the “drafts” folder since 2015! last re-worked in 2022, picked tis up again last week when I had a backlog of nearly 50 draft posts. Sooooooo – CLEAN UP time! finish ’em up, post as is, or delete. Down to about 36 once I hit “publish: on this one… So, where were we?
- The Main Attraction – Bo Richards and, Jeffrey Scott, and the great tune Substitute by Liquid Gold, followed by what I think is the instrumental/extended mix of Teena Marie’s I’m Just a Sucker for Your Love, followed by someone’s disco version of Another One Bites the Dust? or a CHIC megamix of sorts…. segue into Don’t Stop The Music mixed in with a bit of the instrumental of Heart of Glass

Spider Taylor
“Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. – Spider Taylor – Surge Studio Music – In the early 80s, while working at the West Hollywood gay sex club Basic Plumbing, Taylor met Al Parker, the legendary pornographic actor and director, who recruited Taylor to produce the soundtrack for a film he was working on. Parker’s partnership with Steve Scott running Surge Studios produced some of the most popular all-male films of the era. Spider’s music was a natural fit for Surge, and throughout 1985 and 1986, he composed the soundtracks for five films produced by the iconic studio.” (check out the rest of the info at the link)
I highly recommend going over to Dark Entries to purchase this LP or CD – or both! (I ordered mine last night – Tell ’em BJ sent you!) Also available at bandcamp – where you can sample the tunes; whatever you do, avoid the big behemoths and support the small businesses that treat the artist better (higher percent of sales)
Meanwhile, to get a pre-Dark Entries mix – check this out on soundcloud
I know if I set my mind to it, I could get the five films – meanwhile, here’s one where Spider seems to have had some help? soundtrack: Spider Taylor & The Hollywood Foreskin Ensemble
what I could find, so far, of Minotaur‘s publications – seems they published just for 2-3 years, 1978-1981 at the latest. I had hoped to dive deeper, and include model names, perhaps other publications the images appeared in, but let’s just see if I have a complete list here:
- MAGAZINE #1 (1978) – 52 pages
- MAGAZINE #2 (1978) – 52 pages
- MAGAZINE #3 (1978) – 52 pages
- MANUAL #1 (1978) – Clay Russell cover – 40 pages
- MANUAL #2 (1979) –
- MINOTAUR #1 (1978) – with Clay Russell
- MINOTAUR #2
- MINOTAUR #3 (1978)
- MUSCLE TONE #1
- MUSCLE TONE #2
- SPECTRUM ISSUE #1 (1978)
- SPECTRUM ISSUE #2 (1979)
- CHAMPS (1981) pics from MAGAZINE #1 (1978)
CHAMPS may not have been published by MINOTAUR, but contained pics only from MINOTAUR

Hy Chase
all together now – “languishing in my drafts folder….” was an attempt to document at least some periodicals featuring photography from HY CHASE – an effort I’ve had on my “to do” list before, so back at least 4 years. So – let’s just see what we have, edit a tad, hit publish, right?
From 1973-1978, Hy Chase photography was featured in In Touch magazine. In the late-1970s, he photographed most of the male models featured in the Janus series of publications. (Source: In Touch for Men, Hy Chase Special magazine) That’s the one shown above and just below, which – all together now – “I sold in an eBay auction back in….” 2004. I would also add I think he did at least some of the photography for the “Satyr” series as well. A few others mentioned below.
- In Touch Vol1 No4 (1974) – 6-page BRUCE MORGAN spread
- IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #1 (1975?)
- IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #2 (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Wally (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Todd Peterson (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Steve Nettles (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of David Miller (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Chuck Ballard (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Bob Diewit, Paul Rehus (AKA David Carter?), And John Hemm (1975?)

- Drummer 12 (1977) – Intermountain Logging Company

no idea who the model is, nor the photographer – it’s “just” an ad for a discofied jumpsuit that caught my eye.
but my my! could be a Cadinot model, no?
