Love the coffee cup stains on this one. From early 1981, here we have the cover and 3 pages from its Straight Up section. I wonder what happened that free flexi disc! And someone should trace these people down and photo shoot them, 2011 style.

Sorry – I was being a little obtuse! My memory might be failing – I might not be in the coat! And I’m saying George as if you’d know who I meant – I meant Boy George!

it must be issue 2, Boy George is on the back
the cover is yellow with a star on… I’ve looked at every name I must be missing it..
Was you featured as a street style shot, with name and details, or just in a feature …
I could send you a video of me flicking thru every page…
I am hoping to track down as many people as possible from the first few issues, so it would be great if we could find the one your in 🙂
I’ve just sold issue 2 but I still have it in my possession…
Thanks

Hello I wonder if you could help? I am trying to find an advert that appeared in the first few issues of I-D mag. It was for a stall in Kensington Market called thehipkido. Would you be kind enough to take a look for me to confirm if it is in an issue that you have. It would be most appreciated as I am trying to buy a copy.
thanks
Valerie

Hi,
I was wondering if there was an article about different types subcultures in this edition of i-D? I have a friend who wrote the article (his name’s Jason Jules) and he’d be really grateful if you could upload some screens of it. I think it was his first ever article.
