Launched in May 1963 as Beat Monthly. From issue No 18 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. 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.
