Front Magazine August 2004 Issue 72 Jennifer Ellison Faithless Dion Dublin (1506)

Original Front Magazine – August 2004, Issue 72, featuring Jennifer Ellison as the main cover star.

This is a substantial early-2000s UK men’s lifestyle magazine combining celebrity glamour photography, interviews, sport, music, military features, humour, fashion, motoring and entertainment. The issue is a strong period example of the British lads’ magazine market and has plenty of recognisable personalities and cultural material from 2004.

Due to the highly sexualised cover and adult-oriented glamour content shown within the magazine, I would regard this particular issue as not suitable for eBay listing.

This gives the magazine interest beyond its glamour content and places it firmly within the wider entertainment culture of the period.

These features help make the issue a broader men's lifestyle publication rather than simply a photographic magazine.
