Pulse! (magazine)

Pulse! was a tabloid magazine published by Tower Records (under the direction of VP of Publishing Mike Farrace) which contained record reviews, interviews and advertising. The magazine was started in 1983. Initially, it was given away free in their stores to promote their record sales. In 1992, the magazine began national distribution with a cover price of $2.95, but was cancelled in 2002 when the company discontinued U.S. operations. The last of the 222 issues appeared in December 2002.
