Revolution
 

Revolution was a radical counterculture magazine published in 11 issues between May 1970 and August 1971. Promoted as "Australia's First Rock Magazine" it grew out of Go-Set, a pop music magazine which since 1966 had catered to the youth market and was owned and operated by three entrepreneurial Melbournites aged 19, 21 and 22. Revolution was a natural progression for editor / publisher Phillip Frazer, focussing on an older audience and moving into broader areas associated with the burgeoning counterculture. Frazer arranged for Revolution to include a supplement of 8 pages of the American music magazine Rolling Stone starting with issue 4 in May 1970, until Revolution was closed down by the new owners of Go-Set in 1971. Frazer then launched another Australian counter-culture magazine to succeed Revolution, called High Times (with Pat Woolley and Macy McFarland) and then, in January 1971, he launched an Australian edition of Rolling Stone which has been published continuously ever since by a series of independent publishers who took on the franchise along the way. Related publications: High Times 1971-2, The Digger 1973-5
