Ugly Things #49

Ugly Things continues to he the go-to zine for all things hip'n'happenin' from decades past - concentrating on the best of the 60's era, but also the coolest of the 70's and sometimes even beyond. Publisher Mike Stax (The Loons / Tell Tale Hearts/ innumerable other swingin' combos) contributes and also brings in excellent writers from around the world - Cyril Jordan, Greg Prevost, Laurent Bigot, Don Craine, John Hagelston, David Laing, Tim Stegall and many, many others.

This issue's cover story is on Manfred Mann, delving into their deeper cuts and back story, and also includes a wide variety of combos, such as the Knaves, the Quick, the Kwyet, Death of Samantha (an oddity, for sure), the Rolling Stones, Emitt Rhodes, to name a few. Of course, the plethora of reviews will send you runnin' to your local record store, your online specialist or at least your current wish list, with records, books, movies and more that you never knew before and now desperately need!

It's Ugly Things - of course you want it! Get it!
