Loaded Magazine April 1998 Michelle Norrett John Lydon Chris Eubank SKU 1533

Original Loaded Magazine – April 1998, with Michelle Norrett as the main cover star.

This is a classic late-1990s issue of Loaded, combining celebrity interviews, sport, film, music, fashion, humour and lifestyle features in the magazine’s distinctive irreverent style.

The front cover features Michelle Norrett seated in lingerie alongside the headline referencing her ashtray-themed feature, while the lower cover also promotes John Lydon discussing Blair, Oasis and the Spice Girls.

FEATURED CONTENT

The photographed contents pages confirm a varied issue with features including:

• Michelle Norrett – main feature around page 50
• John Lydon – feature around page 74
• Leslie Phillips – around page 84
• Chris Eubank – around page 94
• Sundance Film Festival
• Space
• Super Bowl XXXII
• Animal-related feature
• Fashion section
• Music, clubs, film, TV & video, sport, motors, books, food & drink and other regular Loaded content

The contents photography also includes Chris Eubank, John Lydon, Super Bowl imagery and various humour-led editorial photos, making this a strong period issue for collectors of 1990s British magazines.

MICHELLE NORRETT

Michelle Norrett is the principal cover feature and is shown prominently on the front cover as well as inside the contents section.

Her feature is listed around page 50 and is presented with the magazine’s characteristic tongue-in-cheek editorial styling.

JOHN LYDON

A notable inclusion is the John Lydon feature, highlighted both on the front cover and within the magazine.

The cover specifically promotes his comments on Blair, Oasis and the Spice Girls, adding strong late-1990s music and pop-culture interest to the issue.

CHRIS EUBANK

The issue also includes a Chris Eubank feature, clearly shown in the contents and illustrated with a striking black-and-white image.

FOLD-OUT / POSTER SECTION

A large Michelle Norrett fold-out section is clearly present in the magazine.

The photographed fold-out spans multiple panels and shows Michelle Norrett in a black outfit against a dark blue background, with “michelle norrett loaded” printed along the side.

This appears to be an original attached magazine fold-out rather than a loose external poster, and it remains one of the more collectible surviving features of the issue.
