Classic Pop | July 2025
In the latest issue of Classic Pop we meet Heaven 17 for our world exclusive cover feature as they unveil new music and their upcoming ‘electropopumentary’ project, plus look back on their incredible career.
As the album is reissued for its 40th anniversary, we also catch up with Dire Straits who take us to the exotic climes of Montserrat as they relive the recording sessions for Brothers In Arms.
Ahead of their hotly-anticipated autumn live shows, we talk to Gene’s Martin Rossiter and Matt James who reveal why the band are reuniting after 20 years apart.
Elsewhere, Garry Christian recalls chart battles with Phil Collins as The Christians prepare to head out on a joint tour with The Blow Monkeys and China Crisis look back on their imperious Flaunt The Imperfection LP.
We also put the back catalogue of Talking Heads under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and Claudia Brücken gives us the lowdown on her latest solo record Night Mirror.
Our latest classic album is Fine Young Cannibals’ world-conquering The Raw & The Cooked and we celebrate The Pointer Sisters’ Break Out LP in our Forget Me Not feature.
In our packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Pulp, Claudia Brücken, Louise, The Cure, Spear Of Destiny and Morcheeba plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring Dire Straits, Soft Cell, Pete Shelley, Orbital, Pet Shop Boys and much more. We also check out live shows by Sugababes and Go West.
