Go-Set was the first Australian pop music newspaper, published weekly from 2 February 1966 to 24 August 1974,[1] and was founded in Melbourne by Phillip Frazer, Peter Raphael and Tony Schauble.[2][3] Widely described as a pop music "bible",[4][5] it became an influential publication, introduced the first national pop record charts and featured many notable contributors including fashion designer Prue Acton, journalist Lily Brett, rock writer / band manager Vince Lovegrove, music commentator Ian "Molly" Meldrum, rock writer / music historian Ed Nimmervoll and radio DJ Stan Rofe.[2] It spawned the original Australian edition of Rolling Stone magazine in late 1972.[2][4]
