In the latest issue of Classic Pop we have a world exclusive cover feature interview with The Human League as the group look back with us on their storied life as synth-pop icons.

Elsewhere, ahead of their reissue of landmark album Into The Gap, we have an exclusive interview with all three Thompson Twins including Joe Leeway who hasn’t spoken about his time in the band for the past 38 years.

And the exclusives just keep on coming. Tears For Fears’ Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith join us to reveal all about their first ever official live album and movie – Songs For A Nervous Planet. We also meet national treasure Paul Heaton who takes us inside his latest album, The Mighty Several, which features an array of collaborations with new co-vocalists.

We have some particularly hot new album releases reviewed and rated this issue – read our take on Kylie’s surprise Tension II and The Cure’s stunning Songs Of A Lost World – Robert Smith and Co’s first new studio album in 16 years.

Elsewhere in our packed reviews section we give our verdict on new album releases including Tears For Fears, Paul Heaton, Primal Scream, Michael Kiwanuka, Midge Ure, Confidence Man and Pixies, plus on the reissues front we feature Bronski Beat, New Order, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Bryan Ferry and much more. We also check out live shows by LCD Soundsystem, Underworld and The The.

Our latest classic album is Happy Mondays’ Pills ‘N’ Thrills And Bellyaches and we reappraise Yello’s fifth studio LP, One Second.

The back catalogue of Madness goes under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and we catch up with Wendy James as she unveils her latest solo long-player The Shape Of History.

Finally, we talk to Roxy Music’s legendary guitarist Phil Manzanera as he releases a boxset celebrating his half-century in music and Sister Bliss tells us how Faithless are reinventing themselves following the passing of frontman Maxi Jazz.
