First published in 1958, Disc (renamed Disc and Music Echo in 1966) focussed on the music charts and was the first British music newspaper to feature colour covers.
Penny Valentine reviewed singles (or “45s”), and superstar radio DJ John Peel had a regular column.
Disc dropped the name Music Echo from its title in 1972 and continued to be published until 30 August 1975, when it merged with Record Mirror, the home of the official music charts, which ended in 1991 before reappearing as a dance music supplement in Music Week.
