I have here for sale 19 of his personal copies of the fanclub magazine, also a complete list of recordings with a caricature of him sitting side saddle on a rocking horse.
When Russ became famous a Fan Club was set up to keep fans informed about his activities and to sell various goodies. The club was run by Hazel Smith (the love of his life) his then manager and Russ oversaw all that went on. All three of them answered letters and all signed with the same name – Carol Wayne. In due time Hazel became Carol Wayne until she died and then June West took over under the name of Jay Emmy.
The first edition was in August 1960. At its peak the club had over 8000 members and after Russ died the club closed. Each magazine had a letter from Russ and a letter from Carol. Then there would be news about television and radio appearances, member’s letters, theatre dates, record information and so on. There would be a special guest who he wanted to tell us about and these were often show business friends. There would always be reviews of Russ’s performances by members who had gone to see him at a theatre or in a TV studio and there was a final reminder of where to send radio requests to get the latest release played.
