Main Mick Ronson Feature

The major headline is:

“The Rise and Fall of… Mick Ronson”

Ronson is pictured performing live with a Les Paul-style electric guitar, wearing a distinctive patterned stage outfit. The dramatic monochrome photograph gives the issue a particularly strong classic-rock appearance.

Mick Ronson is closely associated with some of the most important British rock music of the 1970s, making this a highly relevant issue for collectors interested in guitarists, glam rock and vintage rock journalism.
