This rare edition of Rapier Talks issue seven from 1978 stands as a bold representation of the niche adult publication market in the United Kingdom during the late seventies. The cover features a captivating model in intricate black lace lingerie posed against a sunlit outdoor backdrop embodying the classic glamour aesthetic of the era.
This volume is particularly notable for including a free long playing disc bonus featuring Maria and Hazel in an intimate audio recording which adds significant value for collectors of vintage multimedia ephemera. Within the pages readers are introduced to a variety of features including a spotlight on the Cockney Temptress Tina the kinky Surrey siren May and the lovely French beauty Francoise.
As an uncensored publication for men the magazine captures a specific moment in British publishing history where high quality color photography and interactive elements like flexi discs were used to engage a dedicated readership. The sword imagery in the masthead and the provocative headlines reflect the underground appeal and outrageous branding that defined this specific title making it a distinctive piece of mid twentieth century adult media history.
