TeenSet (originally The Teen Set) was an American music and fan magazine published by Capitol Records. Beginning in 1964 as a free album insert for fans of the Beach Boys, the magazine was sold separately in 1965 and it grew in popularity.[1] It was introduced as a vehicle to promote the Beach Boys and other Capitol artists, but in the hands of editor Judith Sims, the magazine broke new ground, rising above its fan club origin.[2][3] Quickly establishing itself as the gateway to the inner circle of the Beatles at the height of Beatlemania,[4] TeenSet parlayed this trust to introduce their readers to new artists, in the process greatly increasing the visibility of Buffalo Springfield, the Doors, Janis Joplin and the Mothers of Invention.[5] The magazine benefited from articles by music critic Sue Cameron, London correspondent Carol Gold, psychedelic maverick Robert Shea (writing under pseudonyms), and photographs from Jim Marshall and Michael Ochs.[6][7] It began as an early teen girls' magazine but by 1968 was shifting to focus on late teen girls and young women in their early twenties.[8]
