It’s a history lesson, a road map, a bible.

This issue of NME Goth covers the years 1976-1992 in detail. It’s a compilation of the articles, interviews and reviews of live shows and new album releases as they were published at that time, meaning you are reading how things were originally written at the time of their release and reading interviews with these legendary artists as they just started to break through into the underground that they later become the foundation for. These are words from the artists when it was in print media only before the internet, things I doubt they would be saying today on record now that everything is accessible online.

Highlights include interviews with The Cure in 1976, 1980, 1982, (The Glove ! in 1983), 1985, 1987, 1989 and 1992; Siouxsie & The Banshees 1976 and 1979; Joy Division 1979 and 1980 with a great additional article on Ian Curtis; Bauhaus 1980 and 1982 twice. The Birthday Party 1981, Nick Cave 1984 and 1986; The Sister Of Mercy 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1990; Southern Death Cult 1983, The Cult 1985 and 1989; The Cocteau Twins 1983 and 1985; The Mission 1986; Fields Of The Nephilim 1988; All About Eve 1988.
