Classic Rock Magazine October 2009 Mott The Hoople Beatles Alice In Chains KISS Pearl Jam SKU 1513

Original Classic Rock Magazine – October 2009, a packed comeback-themed rock issue with a striking collage-style cover centred on Mott The Hoople and their return as the original comeback kings.

The front cover is heavily loaded with major classic rock and hard rock names, making this a particularly strong issue for collectors of late-2000s rock press. The dominant feature is Mott The Hoople, with the cover promoting their return, while a large central vintage-style image gives the issue a distinctive retro rock aesthetic.

Also prominently featured on the cover:

• The Beatles – advertised across the top with “From Hamburg to The End – in their own words”
• Alice In Chains
• Cheap Trick
• KISS
• Lynyrd Skynyrd
• Pearl Jam
• Status Quo
• Ozzy Osbourne
• Megadeth
• Porcupine Tree
• Bill Wyman
• Jimi Hendrix archive material

The issue is clearly built around the theme of major bands returning, reforming, surviving or continuing, making it especially appealing to collectors interested in comeback-era stories and retrospective rock journalism.

A “FREE CD!” burst is printed prominently at the upper-left of the cover. However, the lower front cover itself states “If you can read this your CD is missing”, so the original cover-mounted CD is not present with this copy.
