This bold and provocative Christmas edition of the British cult publication captures the alternative spirit of the late eighties with its characteristic blend of sexual politics and celebrity counterculture. The striking cover showcases the vibrant aesthetic of 1989 featuring a close embrace between two models that introduces the main theme of modern intimacy.

Inside this rare installment readers will find a controversial inquiry into the career of Alan Rickman asking if he is a traditional actor or a contemporary sex god alongside an exclusive feature where the soul pop band The Christians offer their unique verdict on the magazine itself.

Adding to the eclectic mix is an article on the notorious Cynthia Payne sharing her perspective on her favourite men while investigative pieces delve into the raw realities of life on the street and the nuances of sexual liberation. As a significant artifact of the independent press this issue reflects the sophisticated and often transgressive interests of a readership that embraced the transition from the eighties into the nineties. It serves as an essential acquisition for collectors of vintage British media and enthusiasts of pop culture history seeking a glimpse into the unfiltered editorial style of the period.
