Trouser Press was a rock and roll magazine started in New York in 1974 as a mimeographed fanzine by editor / publisher Ira Robbins, fellow fan of the Who , Dave Schulps, and Karen Rose under the name "Trans-Oceanic Trouser Press" (a reference to a song by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and an acronymic play on the British TV show Top of the Pops ) . Publication of the magazine ceased in 1984. The unexpired portion of mail subscriptions was completed by Rolling Stone sister publication Record , which itself folded in 1985.
