Classic Pop | May/Jun 2025
In the latest issue of Classic Pop we meet Sparks – brothers Ron and Russell Mael – for an exclusive cover feature as they take us inside their stunning new album MAD!
We also catch up with Bryan Ferry and Amelia Barratt who reveal all about their collaborative LP Loose Talk and Erasure’s Andy Bell tells us why he’s striking out on his own with solo record, Ten Crowns.
Suzanne Vega also checks in to give Classic Pop the lowdown on her latest album, the surprise-filled Flying With Angels, we talk to Daryl Hall ahead of his UK tour, and The Bangles reflect on how Prince changed their world forever with Manic Monday.
We also put the back catalogue of The Cure under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and Rialto’s Louis Eliot explains how a near-death experience has informed Rialto’s comeback record Neon & Ghost Signs.
Our latest classic album is Portishead’s seductive debut Dummy and we celebrate The Dream Academy’s eponymous first LP in our Forget Me Not feature.
In our packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Sparks, Billy Idol, Pet Shop Boys, Self Esteem, The Waterboys and Simple Minds plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring INXS, Betty Boo, Tina Turner, Gary Numan and much more.
