Tips: chek the SNL issue (Feb 1993) were Adam Sandler interview Prince, and the 5th anniversary issue (April 1990, Sinead O' Connor cover) with a cool Prince pin up and more.

Enjoy!

Cool.

Oh my God that Adam Sandler interview can not be real, hahahaha.

Thanks.

This just made my day... many thanks for posting.

The whole magazine is great trip through time... the P stuff is like the cherry on top. "You've got what it takes. SALEM SPIRIT." Hahah... I love it.

I lucked up when I found the Black Narcissus issue (in a Prince magazine bundle)on e-bay for $5.00. The three Rolling Stone Magazines were in very good condition, but that particular Spin magazine had. been. LOVED. Glad you finally get to have a copy xlr8r!

I'm glad that you guys like it, I'm a magazine junkie, this save me lots of money and lots of time to hunt for cool vintage mags, can't wait to read the 80s issues, I remember there was a Vanity article somewhere with great pics.

Does anyone know if the Adam Sandler Prince interview really happen?

Holy Shit!! Check This Link Out!

The Pic of Morris and Prince (1982) say's SOOOOO much! I wonder what was going on?
