Original Front Magazine – May 2004, Issue 69, a substantial early-2000s UK men’s lifestyle and entertainment magazine featuring Jesse Jane & Devon as the main cover stars.

This issue has strong collector appeal thanks to its combination of glamour photography, celebrity features, interviews, humour, football, music, films, games and contemporary 2004 culture. It also retains the advertised double-sided fold-out poster, which is clearly shown in the supplied photographs.

Cover & Main Feature

The front cover is dominated by Jesse Jane and Devon, with the issue promoted as a “69th Issue Celebration.”

The contents pages confirm their main feature begins around page 48, with further photography inside the magazine. The issue is very characteristic of Front’s mid-2000s style, combining glamour photography with irreverent editorial, celebrity coverage and lads-magazine humour.

Other prominent names advertised directly on the cover include:

• Carmen Electra
• Lauren Pope
• Sarah Kozer

Double-Sided Fold-Out Poster

The magazine does include the free double-sided poster advertised on the front cover, and both sides are visible in the supplied photographs.

One side features Carmen Electra in a full-length glamour image against a bold red-and-black striped background.

The reverse side features Jesse Jane & Devon together in a large-format glamour photograph, with “Jesse Jane & Devon – Front” branding visible in the corner.

The poster is an original integral magazine fold-out rather than a separate loose print. It has the expected factory fold lines from being bound/folded within the magazine. From the images it appears present and substantially complete, making this a particularly attractive copy for collectors looking for the issue with its original insert.

Carmen Electra Feature

Carmen Electra receives prominent coverage in this issue and is specifically advertised on the front cover.

She is also pictured on the contents pages, with her feature appearing near the beginning of the magazine. Combined with her appearance on one side of the fold-out poster, this makes the issue particularly relevant to collectors of Carmen Electra memorabilia and early-2000s celebrity magazines.

Sarah Kozer

The second contents spread highlights Sarah Kozer, with a large glamour image and a feature beginning around page 70.

This adds another recognisable early-2000s personality to an already heavily featured issue.

Other Magazine Content

Beyond the main glamour features, Issue 69 contains a broad snapshot of British popular culture from May 2004.

The photographed contents show sections devoted to:

• Football and supporter rivalries
• Interviews and celebrity columns
• Human-interest and crime-related stories
• Film reviews
• DVD and video releases
• Music and album coverage
• Games including contemporary console releases
• TV and books
• Motoring
• Fashion

This makes the magazine interesting not just as a glamour publication, but also as a period piece from the peak era of UK lads’ magazines.
