Loaded Magazine November 1994 Paula Yates Prince Naseem SKU 1470

Original Loaded Magazine – November 1994, cover price £2.00, from the very early period of the magazine. This is an attractive collector issue from Loaded’s first year, combining glamour photography, sport, music, television, comedy, travel and contemporary 1990s culture.

The front cover features a distinctive boxing-themed glamour photograph, with two female models posed alongside Prince Naseem Hamed wearing his championship belt. The large “Asian Bull” cover design dominates the lower half, while Loaded’s original gold-and-black masthead gives the issue a very recognisable early-1990s appearance.
