International Cover Girls Magazine Vol 1 No 11 April 1979 Vintage Glamour SKU 1535

Original vintage International Cover Girls Magazine – Volume One, Number Eleven, dating from April 1979.

A genuine late-1970s British men's magazine combining glamour photography with sporting coverage, entertainment, reader features and period editorial material. The cover carries the familiar strapline “The Magazine for the Sporting Man who likes Sporting Girls!” and is clearly marked as an adults-only publication.

The front cover features a brunette model photographed in a blue two-piece outfit, with the distinctive large blue-and-white Cover Girls masthead dominating the upper portion. The overall styling is very typical of late-1970s British glamour and men's publishing.

Magazine Contents & Features

The photographed contents/editorial page confirms a varied selection of features, including:

• Grand National feature
• 20 horses to follow for the 1979 flat season
• Pigeon racing
• Royal Regatta
• Cover Girl fashion feature
• Star Girl of the Month – Susan
• Henley feature
• Debbie’s Progress – Margate
• Reader correspondence and editorial material
• Glamour pictorial features throughout

The editorial specifically discusses the Grand National, noting that the magazine had purchased horses expected to compete during the coming season, making this issue an interesting piece of late-1970s sporting as well as glamour-magazine ephemera.

There is also period entertainment commentary relating to contemporary cinema and adult-film releases, providing a snapshot of the British entertainment and publishing scene of the time.

The photographed interior confirms substantial full-colour glamour photography typical of the publication.
