GO SET - NUMBER ONES
VA - Go-Set Number One Singles in Australia 1966 - 1974 (A Butterboy Compilation) (5 X CD's)
Go-Set was the first Australian pop music newspaper, published weekly from 2 February 1966 to 24 August 1974, and was founded in Melbourne by Phillip Frazer, Peter Raphael and Tony Schauble. Widely described as a pop music "bible", it became an influential publication, introduced the first national pop record charts and featured many notable contributors including fashion designer Prue Acton, journalist Lily Brett, rock writer / band manager Vince Lovegrove, music commentator Ian Meldrum, rock writer / music historian Ed Nimmervoll and radio DJ Stan Rofe. It spawned the original Australian edition of Rolling Stone magazine in late 1972.
In 1964, Monash University student newspaper Chaos' co-editors, John Blakeley, Damien Broderick and Tony Schauble, renamed the paper Lot's Wife. Phillip Frazer was a staffer and later became co-editor with future parliamentarian Peter Steedman. Late in 1965, Schauble, Frazer, Broderick, and another student writer, Doug Panther, discussed ideas to make money during the holidays including the idea to create a teen-oriented pop music newspaper. Local rock group The Mood's manager, Peter Raphael, joined Frazer and Schauble and together they founded Go-Set Publications. Raphael brought in photographer Colin Beard and advertising manager Terry Cleary. Waverley Press, which owned Waverley Offset Printers, had printed Lot's Wife, and agreed to print Go-Set on credit. Schauble, Frazer and Panther produced the newspaper from their home in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern.[2] The first edition of Go-Set, dated 2 February 1966, was published with Schauble cited as editor because Frazer, a medical student, asked to be listed in the low-key role of designer and Panther, who had not registered for the military draft, was described as a feature writer.[2] The first issue showcased Tom Jones (see right) and Herman's Hermits interviewed by Panther and photographed by Colin Beard at Palais Theatre, St Kilda. Initial sales were low, about 3000 to 5000 but Issue 3, which covered The Rolling Stones tour in Melbourne and Sydney, doubled their sales.
Initially Go-Set was intended for Melbourne distribution only. A book distributor, Bill Robinson, managed circulation throughout Victoria, and several weeks later the newspaper was introduced to Sydney and within its first year, all the remaining states. From 28 February 1966, the Go-Set office was three rooms at Charnwood Crescent, St Kilda until December 1970 when it relocated to Drummond Street, Carlton.
Go-Set developed an international focus when, in a promotional arrangement with BOAC airlines, Brett and Beard were flown to London and the USA. They spent four months in the United Kingdom from January 1967 touring with Australian singer Normie Rowe, and The Troggs, The Who, The Small Faces, The Easybeats and others. In America they covered the New York City scene and attended the Monterey Pop Festival from 16 to 19 June 1967. The first full colour centre spread was a Beard photograph of Jimi Hendrix taken at The Monterey Pop Festival. In Los Angeles they did personality stories and photographic fashion spreads with Sonny and Cher, The Mamas & the Papas and covered a recording session with The Byrds.
In December 1973, Nimmervoll left Go-Set and founded Juke Magazine in 1975, subsequently he established Take 40 Australia and since 2000, he has edited HowlSpace, a website detailing Australian rock music history. He is also an author of books on the same subject. By January 1974, Go-Set was sold to Sungravure Ltd with Jenny Irvine as editor. Reprints from UK and US papers replaced staff writing during 1973 and 1974, when Sungravure was taken over by IPC Magazines after which Go-Set's circulation declined until the final issue on 24 August 1974.

I found this list of tracks at www.poparchives.com.au. It is an excellent site dedicated to the Go Set magazine. The artwork used depicts the first cover issue of each years first magazine. Presented here are the NUMBER ONE Singles in Australia 1966 - 1974, according to GO-SET magazine, in chronological order. The first entry was YELLOW SUBMARINE/ELEANOR RIGBY by The Beatles (5.Oct.1966 - 12 Oct.1966 [2 weeks]) and the last entry being BILLY DON'T BE A HERO by Paper Lace (6.Jul.1974 - 24.Aug.1974 [8 weeks]). I have not included tracks that were reintroduced to the number one position for a second time, however, I have included both songs of a double A side single of all #I hits as per the list. There is a total of 135 Tracks for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
