Pulse!

Pulse! was a tabloid magazine published by Tower Records which contained record reviews, interviews and advertising.[1] Initially, it was given away free in their stores to promote their record sales.[2] After nine years, in 1992, the magazine began national distribution with a cover price of $2.95,[3] but was cancelled when the company discontinued U.S. operations.
