Australian music publications of the 60s
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most influential and popular music-related Australian publication of the 1960s was the weekly magazine, Go-Set, which was published from 1966 to 1974. It published the first Australian national singles chart from October 1966 and the first national albums chart from May 1970. The magazine also presented a popularity poll of readers, which led to the King of Pop Awards. Its local competitors during that decade were Everybody's (1961–1968), Oz (1963–1966), Albert Sebastian (1966–1968), Gas (1968–1971) and Revolution (1969–1971).
Everybody's was published by Australian Consolidated Press, owned by Frank Packer from mid-1961.[1][2] It developed from the combination of earlier publications, Women's Mirror and Weekend, consequently it originally targeted women readers.[1] Post-1963 it began to address local pop culture, teen market and beat music developments.[1][2]
