Today I got the scans of all issues of LM (thanx Mort! )...
so, it wasn't much of a magazine, was it?
Not focused enough.
And Oli's covers didn't work for a lifestyle magazine either, although I liked that Superman flying out of the cover.
Hmm, I wonder if stuff from issue 5 is still floating somewhere around the Newsfield archives.
And those Simple Minds vs U2 debates!?
Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.
It looks quite dated when you read it now (as you mentioned, the Simple Minds Vs U2 arguments, the fashion shoots) but I do think it was a good mag. When LM was published, I was just starting to get interested in music and other stuff (ahem!) so it covered all bases for me.
Oh and I do remember arguments about those two groups in my final year of school!
(You should ask Roger if they still have any of the 'missing' LM material).
I found my old copies of LM the other day and had a quick flick through. Any fans of the band Garbage in the house? Check out the Goodbye Mr Mackenzie interview in the first issue to get the shock of your life!!
