From the first Summer of Love (see Castles Made of Sand) to the second Summer of Love (the techno-influenced This is Acid), this issue is dedicated to the intrinsic link between music, youth culture and fashion. Covering everything from scene pioneers Malcolm McLaren & Vivienne Westwood (God Save The Queen) to the music of the masses (see Rick Astley-esque Never Gonna Give You Up and Cher dedication Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves). We go from music of the oppressed minorities which has now crossed over into the mainstream (see punk influenced Oi! and Memphis rap influenced Warriors) to synth-laden sincerity of art rockers (New Romantic inspired To Cut A Long Story Short), and all the youth powered introspection of the no wavers and shoegazers in between (see post-punk influenced Guiding Light and post-punk revival Turn On The Bright Lights). This issue is all about Lower East Side grit (All the Young Dudes), hood rich glamour (the ghetto fabulous Lisa Lopez), and hillbilly greasers (rockabilly influenced Stray Cats). And the beat goes on…
