History
Pop Express was launched in 1969.[1] It was published by Centar za kulturnu djelatnost omladine Zagreba (Center for Cultural Activity of Zagreb Youth),[1] every second Monday in a month.[2] The magazine's editor-in-chief was Darko Stuparić.[1] The first issue was released on 10 February 1969, and the last, 23rd issue on 17 January 1970.[1]
In an interview for the documentary series Rockovnik, chronicler Vladimir Spičanović said about the magazine:
It began as a real music magazine, but over time it evolved towards some sort of, let's say,
readers' letters that got published in the issue — to find out which particular letter got it banned, and I haven't been able to find out why. Today, you can read it ten times over, but there's no chance you'll find out. It was so naive, so benign, that it's now ridiculous, but someone had a problem with it, and that issue was banned.[2]
