The current issue of Uncut features our albums of the year list, compiled by the Uncut team, along with the best reissues and compilations of the year, and the best films and books.
Eric Clapton, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Bob Dylan and Shane MacGowan all feature in the new issue of Uncut, dated August 2014 (Take 207) and out today (June 24).
The new issue of Uncut arrives in UK shops this Friday – though subscribers should hopefully find their copies plonking through the letter box a day or two early. We celebrate 40 years of the Ramones with an extensive cover story by Peter Watts, who’s interviewed surviving band members as well as many of their co-conspirators, friends and peers. To compliment Peter’s terrific piece, we’ve compiled a list of the 50 Greatest American Punk Albums (plus singles and compilations), from the pivotal years of 1975 to 1983.
The next Uncut Ultimate Music Guide goes on sale on Thursday (January 17), hot on the heels of our special on The Kinks, and is dedicated this time to The Beatles. There’s the usual mix of brand new reviews of all The Beatles albums by our current team of writers alongside some truly remarkable interviews from the archives of Melody Maker and NME, for which the description ‘mind-blowing’ seems barely adequate.
Jack White has announced plans to release a new The White Stripes live DVD.
His label Third Man Records will release Under New Zealand Lights, as part of the 12th installment of the Vault subscription series.
The film culls footage from two early New Zealand performances in November 2000 at the King's Arms in Auckland, during the band's first international tour, as well as a October 2003 performance for students at the Freeman's Bay Primary School.
The new Uncut isn't on sale until Thursday, which is March 29. But here’s a quick run-down on what’s in it, which is a lot, so you may want to pull up a chair.
