Loaded Magazine May 1995 POSTER Kimberley Davies Rachel Garley SKU 1470

Original Loaded Magazine – January 1996 issue, with Joanne Guest as the principal cover model.

This is a substantial mid-1990s issue of Loaded, combining glamour photography with celebrity interviews, music, football, film, travel, motoring, humour and lifestyle features. The cover has the classic early Loaded black, white and red design, with Joanne Guest dominating the front.

Main Model Featuresa

Original Loaded Magazine – May 1995, an early issue from the magazine’s classic mid-1990s period, with Kimberley Davies prominently featured on the front cover.

The cover is dominated by a large studio glamour photograph of Kimberley Davies, with the headline “Kimberley versus Kylie!” and the additional cover line “Sheila Take A Bow”. This is a particularly strong early Loaded cover and an appealing issue for collectors of Kimberley Davies, 1990s glamour photography and original Loaded magazines.

Kimberley Davies Feature

Kimberley Davies receives a substantial feature inside the issue, listed in the contents as:

Kimberley v Kylie – pages 62–71

The supplied photographs also show a large multi-page fold-out style Kimberley Davies image. It opens across several connected panels and shows Kimberley posed in a white outfit against a plain blue/grey studio backdrop. The photograph is substantially larger than a normal magazine page and creates an impressive panoramic pin-up presentation when fully opened.

This fold-out element is especially noteworthy for collectors, as it remains present with this copy and appears to open out correctly from the magazine.

Fold-Out / Pin-Up Feature

A particularly desirable part of this copy is the large Kimberley Davies fold-out glamour feature shown in the photographs.

When unfolded, the image extends well beyond a standard single magazine page, creating a wide-format presentation of Kimberley Davies in a white two-piece outfit. Multiple fold lines are naturally present because of the original fold-out construction.

This appears to be an original integral part of the magazine rather than a separate loose item.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Visible condition points include:

• Front cover remains bright and highly presentable, with strong orange, black and grey colouring.
• General surface rubbing, handling marks and light scratches are visible across the front cover.
• Noticeable edge and corner wear, particularly around the lower edge, spine area and outer corners.
• There are some small creases, pressure marks and age-related handling lines to the cover.
• Lower-left/front spine corner shows some visible wear and slight crushing.
• The right-hand edge has light rubbing and wear.
• Spine remains attached, although normal vintage rubbing and handling wear are visible.
• Interior pages shown remain generally bright, clean and well printed.
• Some pages naturally show light curvature, handling marks and minor edge wear.
• The large Kimberley Davies fold-out remains present.
• As expected with a fold-out of this type, it has original fold lines/creases where the panels fold back into the magazine.
• No obvious major missing sections are visible from the supplied photographs.
• Rear cover shows noticeable general age-related surface and edge wear but remains intact.

Overall, this is a good original collector copy with honest vintage wear, made considerably more interesting by the surviving large Kimberley Davies fold-out feature.
