Classic Pop Issue 72 (Nov/Dec 2021) Duran Duran

In the latest Classic Pop, we have an exclusive interview with all four members of Duran Duran as they return with superb new studio album Future Past. Also, as a Duran-related bonus, our next classic album feature is the band’s eponymous 1993 LP aka ‘The Wedding Album’.

This issue, we also meet Bowie collaborators Mike Garson and Reeves Gabrels who look back on their work with the legend in the 90s ahead of new boxset Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001).

We also catch up with Pepsi and Shirlie as they unveil a revelatory new autobiography about their time in Wham! as well as their solo years. Elsewhere, there are Q&As with Matt Goss plus Eddie Lundon from China Crisis and David Sylvian’s back catalogue goes under the microscope as part of our Album By Album feature.

We revisit Dead Or Alive’s Mad, Bad, And Dangerous To Know for our Forget Me Nots feature and interview 808 State’s founder Graham Massey for an in-depth look at the ground-breaking dance outfit.

In our expanded reviews section we have new releases including Duran Duran, Coldplay, Damon Albarn and Sting while our bumper reissues coverage features David Bowie, OMD, Erasure, Primal Scream, Debbie Gibson, Echo & The Bunnymen and much more.

Our live section returns, too – we’re back on gigging action for reviews of the Isle Of Wight Festival, Scritti Politti and Heaven 17.
