Gold Wax was originally started by Byakuya Shobo, which also published Yagi Yasuo's Zappa Vox and the first Japanese edition of The Real Frank Zappa Book. At the beginning, it had gorgeous artwork (for example, the cover was made of golden cardboard) and boasted of the "special arrangement" with renowned foreign magazines. However, this style of publication only lasted for four issues. From issue #5, another publisher called Baroque Shuppan took it over, and changed its main focus to unauthorized bootlegs. This less flamboyant version managed to survive until 2003. (TAN Mitsugu)
