Phillip Frazer (born 1 May 1946, in Melbourne, Australia) is a writer, editor and publisher. He was a founder of the weekly teen pop newspaper Go-Set in 1966,[1][2][3][4] which was a popular Australian music paper from 1966 to 1974.[1] He also published the more explicitly counterculture magazines Revolution, High Times and The Digger. He launched the Australian edition of Rolling Stone magazine, first as a supplement in Revolution in 1970,[1] then as a full-fledged magazine in 1972. From 1976 to 2011, Frazer lived in the United States, where he launched and edited numerous political publications, most notably The Hightower Lowdown and Multinational Monitor.[1]
