Emma B Feature

Emma B is the principal model and cover personality for this issue. Her main feature begins around page 58, and the contents photography shows her in a black dress.

There is also a clearly visible large fold-out Emma B poster / pin-up style feature inside the magazine. The photographed fold-out spans multiple sections and shows Emma B in a full-length black dress against a light indoor background. The fold-out appears to be integrated into the magazine and is a significant collector feature of this particular issue.

Because the poster/fold-out is clearly visible in the supplied photographs, it is worth highlighting in the description for collectors of late-1990s Loaded issues and glamour/editorial magazine photography.

Ewan McGregor

A dedicated Ewan McGregor feature begins around page 70. He is also shown prominently in the contents photography wearing a black-and-yellow motorcycle-style outfit.

This is from the period when McGregor was already firmly established as one of the most recognisable British actors of the late 1990s.

Music Content

The issue contains a strong selection of late-1990s music coverage, including:

• The Cardigans
• Ash
• Death Row Records
• Additional music reviews and club coverage

The contents imagery gives the issue a very strong late-90s alternative/pop/rock and urban music feel.

Sport & Motorsport

The magazine also features Jacques Villeneuve, shown alongside a Formula One car, making the issue additionally appealing to motorsport collectors.

Further sporting content appears in the back section, alongside other regular Loaded departments.

Film, TV & Entertainment

The issue includes period film coverage, with the contents page referencing titles such as:

• Halloween: H20
• Velvet Goldmine
• The Exorcist
• Safe Men

There is also TV/video coverage and material on comedy series Big Train.
