Sounds was a UK weekly pop/rock music
newspaper, published from 10 October 1970 to 6 April
1991. It was known for giving away posters in the
centre of the paper (initially black and white, then
colour from late 1971) and later for covering heavy
metal and punk music in its late 1970s–early 1980s
heyday.
It was produced by Spotlight Publications, by a
group who left
Melody Maker to start their own company.
Sounds was their first project, a weekly paper
devoted to progressive rock and it was described as
"a leftwing Melody Maker". Sounds was
intended to be a weekly rival to titles such as
Melody Maker and
New Musical Express |
