words 1973

Words – March, 1973 – featuring Rory Gallagher

September 29, 2011 by dubdoug

Published in the UK, “Words” was a very thin (16 pages only), non glossy, monthly magazine with no adverts which simply displayed the lyrics of about 30 or so pop songs from that month. It also contained some brief articles on the cover artist along with some movie and pop news. It was a drab 1970s forerunner to its 80s equivalent, Smash Hits.

yellow press1 1991

Yellow Press Issue 1, 1991 featuring Desperate Dana

September 27, 2011 by dubdoug

This is the first issue of Yellow Press from late 1991 or early 1992. One old Irish punt for 32 pages, with just a page and a half of ads, this issue lacks the variety and fun of issue 2 which was featured in an earlier post. In one strip (below), Dana Rosemary Scanlon becomes the  Dandy’s Desperate Dan. Related Link: Yellow Press issue 2  Erins Own

200

200 Reasons to stay In Dublin – March 1984

September 22, 2011 by dubdoug

Some great reasons in here, many still valid today, many now gone. I’ve scanned in all the pages as there are many gems scattered throughout the 200. This was from the 200th issue of In Dublin, in March 1984. They published a similar feature in their 100th issue, from April 1980, called 100 Reasons to Be Cheerful. Click on images above to enlarge.

the specials connolly station dublin

Specials in Easons, Connolly Stn, Dublin, 1979.

September 19, 2011 by dubdoug

What a photo! It is Connolly train station, Dublin but I’m not sure when it was taken. Is it January, 1981 when the Specials played in Dublin’s Stardust Club? Think it just earlier than that. ** update: pretty sure this is November, 1979, as per comments below from Enda & Conor – and photo is by Jill Furmanovsky –  thanks guys ** I scanned this from issue 98 of Mojo magazine from 2002 but it gives no date of the photo. I […]

NME September 1979 – The Undertones

September 11, 2011 by dubdoug

Between my brother and myself, we bought and read every issue of the NME from 1974 to 1980. Unfortunately, we didn’t keep many of them.  One I still have is this particularly good issue, from 32 years ago this week, which features great pix (P Smith) & interview (A Thrills) with cover stars The Undertones.

The Face 1987

The Face #82 1987 – Blue Velvet & Microdisney

September 7, 2011 by dubdoug

Its easy to know why I kept this issue of the Face . An interview with David Lynch & Isabella Rosellini at the time of the release of one of my favourite ever movies, Blue Velvet. No point in scanning this in though, as there are already many transcripts of it on the web, including this post by Anne Billson. However, also in this issue,  and something which I can’t find elsewhere on the web, is an interesting article/interview with […]

d'Side dSide 1993 Dublin Ireland Style magazine

d’Side Magazine – Issue 1, December 1993.

September 1, 2011 by dubdoug

Fact, Fashion & Fiction was the tag line for this ambitious Irish magazine which came out every 2 weeks and ran from December 1993 until, I think, the end of the century. Contained plenty of expensive photo shoots, including the “Legend in their Lunchtime” series.  Amazing how much Dustin has aged.
