Launched in May 1963 as Beat Monthly. By issue 18 it had changed it's name to Beat Instrumental Monthly, and then shortened to Beat Instrumental from No 37. Emphasizing musical instruments and equipment (it billed itself as "The World's First Group & Instrumental Magazine"), Beat Instrumental was possibly the first magazine to publish interviews with famous musicians regarding their equipment and live gigs throughout the 1960's and 1970's. It also defined pop and beat music more widely than many of it's contemporaries. Later on, the magazine progressed from beat music and psychedelic groups to rock and progressive rock and eventually new wave when it folded in 1980.
