Q
Magazine is THE music magazine. It is
published monthly in the UK, with a
readership of well over 700,000
people.
Founders
Mark Ellen and David Hepworth were
dismayed by the music press of the time
which they felt did not cater for the
generation of older music buyers who were
buying the then new CD technology from
artists other magazines would ignore such
as Paul Simon, Level 42, or Dire
Straits.
Modeled
after Rolling Stone, Q
Magazine
was first published in 1986 and set itself
apart from much of the other music press
by being produced monthly and with higher
standards of photography and
printing.
Q
Magazine was billed in the early years by
its sub-title "The modern guide to music
and more". The name was originally
intended to be Cue (as in the sense of
cueing a record, ready to play) but was
changed to avoid being mistaken for a
snooker magazine. Another reason, cited in
Q's 200th edition, is that a single-letter
title would be more prominent on
newsstands - an obviously pressing concern
for a new publication.
