Loaded Magazine June 1996 Dannii Minogue Sarah Stockbridge Demi Moore Chris Tarrant SKU 1488

Original Loaded Magazine – June 1996, cover price £2.40.

A substantial mid-1990s issue of Loaded, combining celebrity interviews, comedy, travel, sport, fashion, music, film and the magazine’s distinctive irreverent editorial style. This issue is particularly strong for collectors because it includes prominent features on Chris Tarrant, Dannii Minogue, Demi Moore, Sarah Stockbridge, Terry Venables, Timothy Spall and John Belushi, together with an original fold-out celebrity poster.

The cover is dominated by a large black-and-white portrait of Chris Tarrant, billed as “Britain’s Richest Dosser”, with the issue promoting an interview covering his television career and rise to prominence.

Other cover names include Terry Venables, Elvis Costello, Timothy Spall, John Belushi, Demi Moore, Bryan Robson, David Coulthard and Carl Cox.

The contents spread itself is very period-specific, featuring a collage of celebrity, entertainment and lifestyle photography that strongly reflects Loaded’s 1990s editorial identity.

Dannii Minogue Feature

Dannii Minogue is one of the most prominent female personalities in this issue.

She appears:

• On the front cover as a highlighted feature
• On the contents pages
• In an interior feature
• As the subject of the included fold-out poster

The contents imagery shows Dannii in a styled red outfit, while the separate fold-out uses a very different monochrome studio-photography presentation.

Original Dannii Minogue Poster

A Dannii Minogue poster is clearly present in the supplied photographs.

The poster unfolds across multiple panels to form a large black-and-white portrait of Dannii Minogue.

She is shown:

• Facing the camera
• Wearing a distinctive metallic / chain-style fashion outfit
• In a studio portrait setting
• With the image extending vertically across several folding sections

The poster has a dramatic 1990s editorial/fashion-photography look and appears designed as a large fold-out rather than a standard single magazine page.

This is an especially desirable survivor because original magazine posters were frequently removed from copies after purchase.

The photographs indicate that the poster is still physically present with this copy.

Sarah Stockbridge

The images also show a large interior feature on Sarah Stockbridge, presented across a double-page spread.

The styling is strongly representative of 1990s fashion/editorial photography, with a cool blue-toned image and large-format layout.

Sarah Stockbridge is therefore another particularly relevant model name for collectors of 1990s British magazine culture.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore is clearly identified in the contents and is promoted as one of the issue’s celebrity features.

Chris Tarrant

The main cover subject is Chris Tarrant, whose feature is one of the central pieces in the magazine.

The contents page describes the article as a substantial multi-page feature, giving this issue additional appeal for collectors interested in British television and 1990s popular culture.

Terry Venables / Football

The issue also contains Terry Venables, reflecting the strong football interest surrounding England during the Euro ’96 period.

Additional sports personalities promoted on the cover include:

• Bryan Robson
• David Coulthard

This places the magazine squarely within the cultural atmosphere of Britain in summer 1996.

John Belushi

A feature on John Belushi is shown in the contents, adding film and comedy interest.

Magazine Format & Period Interest

This is a particularly good snapshot of British men's magazine culture in 1996, covering a broad mixture of:

• Models
• Television personalities
• Film stars
• Football
• Motorsport
• Music
• Comedy
• Fashion
• Nightlife
• Travel
• Popular culture
• Period advertisements and classifieds

The original advertisements and classified pages shown are also interesting in their own right, featuring very period-specific travel, nightlife, entertainment and personal-ad material.

• Some internal pages show light waviness and handling creases.
• The magazine has clearly been read and handled rather than stored in mint condition.
• The photographed pages remain readable and generally well-presented.
• The Dannii Minogue fold-out poster is present, but because it has been folded as designed, it naturally has strong factory fold lines and some age/handling creasing.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be packed carefully to help protect it during transit. Depending on parcel size, packaging may include stiff cardboard reinforcement, protective bubble wrap and/or a suitable cardboard box.

Extra care will be taken around the spine, corners and fold-out poster, helping reduce the risk of bending, crushing or further edge damage while in transit.
