Beat Instrumental of 1975 shows how gear was sold, choice of amps, A&R guys and more. But has anything really changed? Well considering what I read in this 'Beat' magazine I guess its all still out there, same problems and even the same gear!

When you look back at a 1975 magazine like Beat Instrumental and Recording International it's easy to surmise a number of interesting but important points; these can be easily summed up from this magazine as follows:

1. Little has changed about how music gear was sold then and is sold today.

2. The same old 'transistor' to 'tubes' amp arguments are here today - especially if you exchange 'transistor' for 'simulated' amps against tube amps.

3. Some brands are selling basically the exact same models as they did then back in 1975 and the story wears thin the older you are... its all been seen so many times!

4. The copy guitars were everywhere just as they are today, but in those days they used the brand names they were ripping off!

5. Equipment prices varied. For example back in the day the amp cost typically half the guitar price. Think about today and some of those ridiculously high prices of guitars.

It's quite amazing to look back at the bands featured in the beat instrumental mag, like Judas Priest, Yes and others where you can get real information about those bands 'back in the day' and how it really was. These days you will hear generally far less than 'how it was' in those times - an eye opener if you bother to check!

Rhett Shull is not in here, neither are any tutorials, there are not any guitar effects shown and guitar pedals or guitar tutorial but there IS much about guitar gear right there in the magazine with prices of the day - you might be shocked - especially if you compare them with Andertons current pricing structure.

Many musicians have never even seen these magazines but they hold a wealth of information that could only ever really be gleaned from them. Don't let it all slip through your hands because you 'think' none of it is relevant - trust me the music industry would love you to never see some of this... but its all there for the learning so you can base YOUR experience on many real facts.
