Posted July 5, 200916 yr I'm probably putting this in the wrong place but some members might remember Smash Hits ================= Legendary music magazine Smash Hits is returning for a one-off issue saluting Michael Jackson. Bauer Media is producing a 52-page souvenir edition, which will go on sale on Tuesday (July 7). It is being overseen by Stuart Williams, managing director of Bauer Media's Music & Film portfolio, and produced by a team led by Barry McIlheney, who was editor of Smash Hits during 1986-89. Highlights will include interviews, original Smash Hits reports from Jackson's live tours, as well as posters, songwords and the definitive story of Bubbles. Williams says, "Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and Smash Hits was witness to his best years. I think MJ fans of all ages will welcome this souvenir issue." "We will be paying tribute to Michael in classic Smash Hits style," adds McIlheney. "Everyone seems to be forgetting in the current tabloid frenzy that this was one of the greatest pop stars of all time." The Smash Hits Michael Jackson special issue will be priced at £2.99.
July 5, 200916 yr I saw this. This maybe should be in lounge or news. But I'm going to buy this, probably. Maybe then they'll bring the mag back, but make it more like a version of Q that isn't up it's own arse :lol:
July 6, 200916 yr I would like to see more of these erratic projects from publications archives, chronicling key moments in pop culture. a Smash Hits acid house issue anytime soon?
