Catalogue note
April 1985 issue of The Face with Bryan Ferry on the cover under the headline 'Freeze! Bryan Ferry Defrosted! Exclusive Interview'. The contents document a broad cross-section of mid-1980s British youth and popular culture, including Bob Hoskins, Billy Mackenzie, Bronski Beat, Bryan Ferry, Go-Go club culture in Washington DC, André Walker fashion, Pete Burns and a feature on the sale of Steve McQueen's garage. The supplied copy also retains a period Howard Jones 'Dream Into Action' advertisement and a Joseph Tricot back-cover fashion advertisement.
Why this object matters
The Washington Go-Go coverage and Bronski Beat/Billy Mackenzie/Pete Burns material give this issue a particularly useful dance and queer-pop context. Its original editorial and advertising state merits a modest increase to outstanding 8.7.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
