Cock Sparrer are looking a bit weathered on the cover, but they're still going strong – at least according to the article inside! There's plenty more sounds from back in the day – articles on Simple Minds, Toyah, Jesus & Mary Chain, Men The Couldn't Hang, Brian Eno, Meteors, Lenny Kaye, New Model Army, and Stewart Copeland.

That's Lucy Sante on the cover – and she not only delivers a small piece of her own at the front of the magazine, but is also the focus of a nice long article penned by Sasha Frere Jones, which is then followed by an interview with Sante too! And there's way more here too – a look at 30 years of Sleater Kinney, the contemporary Detroit jazz scene, Chicago music legend Doug McCombs, painter Shonto Begay, the music of Dredd Foole, the teenage recordings of Teresa Leigh, gallerist Hudson, writer Jeff Noon, the cosmic soul of Shabazz Palaces, and lots lots more – all in vivid color throughout, with hardly any ads at all!
