Russell Morris featured on the first edition for 1970.
He was probably the most successful recording artist of 1969 with his single Johnny Young written song "The Real Thing". The single was produced by Ian Meldrum, but all the technical and production work was actually done by the engineer John L. Sayers.
By 1970, Go-Set had found its groove. Two of the original founders, Tony Schauble and Doug Panther had gone, and the focus of the magazine was on pop with a growing coverage of rock music and issue.
1970 would also be significant for the release of Revolution, and the inclusion of the Rolling Stone (magazine) Supplement. Go-Set was reaching maturity, both in content and appearance.

Go-Set's First issue featured Welshman Tom Jones in 3 sections

Tom Jones had toured in December 1965 with Herman's Hermits and ???? Odd that Go-Set would feature a Welshman so strongly in its first issue. However, the second issue would do a lot to correct the situation. Still to be posted in the blog is the only Australian group to be featured. The first feature group was called The Groop, and they would ultimately make a significant impact on Australian pop music history.

The item is not by-lined however the interviewer was Doug L Panther and the photographer was Colin Beard. They were backstage before the concert, and talked to Tom Jones before the concert. Colin Beard also took photos during the concert. Many of these were not published in Go-Set. This was the first meeting of Doug Panther and Colin Beard. 

Tom Jones and whom?
