Hitkrant

Hitkrant

Starting in October of 1975, an 8-page weekly free music magazine titled De Nationale Hitparade Krant was published in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In January of 1977 the name was changed to Hitkrant, the content was expanded, and the magazine was no longer free. Hitkrant eventually went to bi-weekly publication and existed in print form until March, 2017. An online version still exists.

The Week 12 edition from March 22, 1979, includes a half page article about Cheap Trick and a photo of Tom Petersson with the prototype Hamer 10-string bass.
