Classic Rock Presents AOR Magazine Journey Escape Steve Perry 1981 Rock Special SKU 1513

Original Classic Rock Presents AOR special issue devoted to AOR / melodic rock, with a striking retro-futuristic cover design and a major feature on Journey and Steve Perry.

The front cover prominently displays the large AOR logo beneath the Classic Rock Presents branding, with the tagline “Don’t Stop Believin’”. The artwork features a dramatic illustrated futuristic spacecraft hovering over a glowing crater-like landscape, giving the issue a very distinctive early-1980s-inspired science-fiction aesthetic.

The main cover story is:

“Beetle mania!”
Inside, the magazine explores the story behind one of the biggest AOR albums of all time, Journey’s Escape, alongside a Steve Perry exclusive.

This makes the issue particularly appealing to collectors of Journey, Steve Perry, melodic rock, AOR, 1980s rock culture and specialist Classic Rock publications.
