Catalogue note
The Face Vol. 3 No. 20, September 1998, with the Manic Street Preachers photographed by Peter Robathan beneath the emphatic cover line 'Kings of Rock'. The issue landed at the precise moment of the band's late-1990s commercial apex: 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 1 in early September, while This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours followed later that month and also entered the albums chart at No. 1. The wider issue places that rock moment alongside Rose McGowan, Studio 54, Ben Affleck, emerging New York fashion and other late-1990s cultural material.
