*** This magazine has three different covers - we can't guarantee which one you're going to get! ***

Notes: 118 pages * no ads * Pure Prince Content! - new High Quality paper version. (Originally printed in 2018)

Wax Poetics Issue 67 contains interviews and write-ups on a slew of Prince's albums, including 1978's For You, 1986's Parade, 1987's Sign "O" the Times, 1988's Lovesexy, 1991's Diamonds and Pearls, and 1995's The Gold Experienceiwith interviews from engineer Chris Moon, manager Owen Husney, engineer Susan Rogers, producer/engineer David Z, poet Ingrid Chavez, tour manager Alan Leeds, dancer Cat Glover, saxophonist Eric Leeds, guitarist and bandleader Levi Seacer Jr., engineer Michael Koppelman, trombonist Michael B. Nelson, and keyboardist Tommy Barbarella.

Issue 67 also includes standalone interviews with Jill Jones, Andre Cymone, and members of the Revolution: Doctor Fink, Bobby Z., Brown Mark, and Wendy & Lisa.

Notes: On the cover:

Grace Jones by Tamara Palmer: Palmer delves into the entire history of this remarkable artist, who will naturally deliver a stunning cover image. Jones is even more of a one of a kind musician and persona than most of us realize, so Maggot Brain extra excited to feature her on the cover of this issue.

Deep archival dives with living luminaries:

Pulp: Peeling back the onion of time, we are graced with a fine selection of ephemera and rare images from the forthcoming Hat + Beard book on the cult band's cult band: I'm With Pulp, Are You?, by Mark Webber.

Mayo Thompson: Jasper Leach has delivered a stunningly good and very deep dive into the genesis and long life of Thompson's masterpiece Corky's Debt to His Father.

Redd Kross: They've already had a great double album and documentary readied for summer but in the Fall there's also a definitive RK book so Maggot Brain enlisted Jen B. Larson to do a career-spanning feature on your favourite teen babes from Monsanto. Larson wrote Hit Girls: Women of Punk in the USA 1975-83.

Mary Timony: Mary Timony is one of the great guitar luminaries and songwriters of the indie era, but rarely does she get the credit she deserves. Audrey Golden, author of I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records, not only went into every nook and cranny of Timony's career, but the first question she asked Timony is one for the ages: "Is that a lute?"

More mid-sized features:

The Chills: Maggot Brain put together a lovely tribute to Martin Phillipps, thanks to the work of three talented New Zealanders who knew him and his music the best.

The Spatulas: The PPM release of the recently bicoastal band is so good, so Maggot Brain went through each song in depth.

208: Leave it to Fred Thomas to help us all to Detroit's happingest garage-punk two-piece.

Jandek: After Jeff Economy put together the underground show of the year (sorry for the Dad joke!), with the representative from Corwood performing at the bottom of a mine, Maggot Brain put together a beautiful package about it, with amazing photos.

Winston Hightower: Prolific, smart as hell Columbus musician and skater talk about his great new record on K.

Trouble In Mind: None other than Fred Thomas interviewed the duo behind the superb Chicago-based record label.

Columns:

Record reviews, Lucy Sante, the advice column, and more Andy Zax excellence with his 'Extinctophonics' column.

Literary + visual stuff:

Stacey Levine: Mairead Case did a great interview with the hilarious, weird Seattle-based writer and PEN winner about her new book Mice 1961.

Holly Woodlawn: Maggot Brain have scored a sweet excerpt from the definitive bio on her, which will be published by Feral House shortly.

Sarah Chait: Maggot Brain are excited

Notes: Printed on high quality recycled stock. Potent semiconductor of winter solstice vibes. Magic Circle contains photos from two rolls of Kodak Portra 200 film taken at sunrise within the inner circle of Stonehenge, six days before the winter solstice of 2018 and on the morning of the winter solstice of 2019. Some experts believe the rituals connected to the winter solstice to be of greater significance to the Neolithic people of Stonehenge than the summer, as it marked the time after which longer, brighter and more fecund days would return.
