Not sure if Mojo have done one of these dedicated magazines before. NME, Uncut and Classic Pop have though. Edited by user 03 February 2023 06:14:35(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Like the Classic Pop one, it's pretty decent. Similar sort of contents to previous magazines - interviews, reviews, photos, article on Saville etc. Theres's a few rare/new-to-me photos. It's about 50:50 with the JD:NO split, so much more JD than the Classic Pop one (which only dedicated a few pages to the former band).

I've paid for tracked shipping but it isn't moving since Feb 2

Plus the story has been told so many times now, it actually felt a chore to read Classic Pop on the other hand devotes only a handful of pages to JD, even to the point where, by the end they are running several pages on the first Electronic LP to fill the space. It's the only off-shoot album that gets the coverage and seems a bit odd tacked on the end there, but on the whole I think Classic Pop does the best job of the two

A 50:50 split for a 2:9 LP split (or even a 3:33 year split) doesn't feel appropriate. And, as you say, it feels like they're retreading old ground with their JD coverage. Still, I liked both magazines and am glad I got them. Not essential, but pretty decent. Edited by user 25 February 2023 08:38:28(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The Classic Pop one was riddled with errors. I considered posting about it but there is literally so many that it would be a bore to read. There were also bits that, while technically not wrong, were just weird (like a photo of 90's era Bernard in the article on *Movement). Ok, just one quote (from the Waiting for the Sirens' Call* article): "With the only woman (and only member responisible for any electronica) gone, only seems to have only hardened New Order's reinvention as a rock band as Waiting for the Sirens' Call, with a few notable exceptions, doubles down on the live-in-the-studio Oasis-isms of *Get Ready*". Yes, that is verbatim. A "journalist" wrote that.
