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.[1] The magazine was started in 1983.[2] Initially, it was given away free in their stores to promote their record sales.[3] In 1992, the magazine began national distribution with a cover price of $2.95,[4] but was cancelled in 2002 when the company discontinued U.S. operations.[5] The last of the 222 issues appeared in December 2002.[2][5]
