Loaded Magazine July 1995 David Letterman Jon Bon Jovi Patricia Arquette SKU 1462

Original Loaded Magazine – July 1995, an early issue from the magazine’s classic mid-1990s period, with David Letterman dominating the distinctive purple front cover.

The cover promotes the feature “Lights, Camel, Action… How David Letterman conquered the UK”, with Letterman pictured in a large close-up wearing his trademark round glasses. This is a very recognisable period cover and should have good appeal to collectors of original 1990s Loaded magazines, television memorabilia and British pop-culture publications.

This issue contains a broad mix of celebrity interviews, entertainment, travel, sport, fashion and contemporary 1990s culture.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition with noticeable age and handling wear. This is an original magazine approaching three decades old, so the photographs should be checked carefully alongside the description.

Visible condition points include:

• Noticeable edge wear and rubbing around the front cover.
• Spine wear, including rubbing and small creases along the left edge.
• Bottom-left front corner shows creasing, rubbing and slight distortion.
• Bottom and outer cover edges have general shelf/handling wear.
• Top-right corner is curled/creased, which is particularly visible on the open contents photograph.
• Some lighter surface scuffs and handling marks are visible across the purple front cover.
• Slight age-related curvature/waviness to the magazine rather than lying completely flat.
• Back cover shows some light marks, rubbing and general storage wear.
• Spine remains intact in the supplied photographs.
• Interior pages shown appear generally well retained and readable, with good colour and print quality for their age.
• Some page-edge/corner curling and ordinary handling wear are visible internally.
• No obvious handwritten notes or major missing sections can be seen from the supplied photographs.

Overall, this is a genuine used vintage copy rather than a mint example, with the most noticeable faults being the cover/edge wear, corner creasing and general storage/handling marks.
