Disc was a weekly British popular music magazine,
published between 1958 and 1975, when it was incorporated
into Record Mirror. It was also known for periods as Disc
Weekly (1964–1966) and Disc and Music Echo (1966–1972). It first published on 8 February 1958, with the main competition being Record Mirror. It gained a reputation for its emphasis on pop music as reflected in the music charts, in comparison with its more music-industry-focused rivals Melody Maker and New Musical Express. In 1966, it was incorporated with Music Echo magazine, which had itself previously taken over Mersey Beat. The new magazine was known as Disc and Music Echo (with the name "Disc" shown more prominently on the masthead), from 23 April 1966. Unlike the other weekly magazines of the time, it featured colour photos on its front and back pages. In June 1966, it was the first magazine to feature, in colour, the notorious Beatles "butcher" cover for the U.S. album Yesterday and Today, under the headline "Beatles: What a Carve-up".
