Classic Rock Magazine September 2007 Nikki Sixx Motley Crue Pink Floyd AC/DC (1498)

Original Classic Rock magazine – September 2007, featuring Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe prominently on the front cover. This is a particularly themed issue centred around the wilder side of rock history, with the cover branding it “The Drugs Issue” and promoting stories spanning some of the biggest names in classic rock.

Nikki Sixx dominates the cover photography, dressed in black and pictured against a dark red backdrop. The main feature promotes “The Dirt Part 2” and material relating to Nikki Sixx’s Heroin Diaries, making this an especially interesting issue for Mötley Crüe and Nikki Sixx collectors.

Other major artists and subjects advertised on the cover include Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Keith Moon, Lemmy, Slash and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, alongside a series of historical rock stories.

Further highlighted features include Fleetwood Mac, with a feature looking back at the turbulent period surrounding Rumours, plus Pink Floyd / Syd Barrett, focusing on Barrett’s psychedelic-era experiences. There is also an AC/DC / Angus Young feature and a piece discussing Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”

The cover promotes “50 craziest, sleaziest, death-defying-est drug stories ever”, giving the issue a strong rock-history and retrospective theme rather than simply being a standard artist interview issue.

The front also advertises a FREE CD. Please note that only the magazine itself is shown in the supplied photograph, so a CD is not confirmed as included and buyers should purchase on the basis of the photographed contents only.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage magazine with noticeable age/storage wear.

The front cover remains bright and highly presentable overall, with the main Nikki Sixx artwork and printed text displaying strongly. There is, however, visible general surface rubbing and light scratching consistent with handling and storage.

The top edge shows wear and slight unevenness, including rubbing around the upper corners. The top-right area has a conspicuous pale/white rubbed or marked section, likely from previous surface wear or label removal.

There is additional edge and corner wear, particularly around the lower corners and bottom edge. The right-hand edge shows some minor distortion/creasing and a small area where the inner pages appear slightly exposed or uneven. Light scuffing and small marks can also be seen across the cover.

The magazine does not appear pristine and should be regarded as a used collector's copy with visible cosmetic wear, but the cover remains complete and visually striking. Please study the supplied photograph carefully as it forms an important part of the condition description.
