The Classic Pop is ok as a regular tribute, but you really need this - 132 pages of Prince:

http://www.classicpopmag.com/2016/05/sale-now-prince-celebration/

I've gone a bit mad and collected the Q, Classic Pop, NME, and Uncut tribute issues, and the Newsweek, Daily Mirror and Classic Pop one-off commemorative editions. The tribute issues all have very nice, heartfelt valedictory essays/articles about the shock of his passing and the enormous loss we are all feeling, paying dues to his massive contribution to music and culture. The lengthy essay in Uncut is particularly good. There are also numerous shared stories by people who have worked with and/or met him, and brief round-ups of his career highlights.

I've only glanced at the one-off editions, as I want to really spend time to absorb their deeper appreciation. But they all look like time and care have been spent on their content and presentation.

Haven't bothered seeking out Mojo yet; pretty disgusted that they couldn't honour him with a cover, then have the gall to suggest that theirs is the 'ultimate tribute'.

I have just sent Mojo Magazine an email expressing my disgust!!

Their email address is mojo@bauermedia.co.uk if you want to do the same!!

Hmm that Classic Pop mag looks pretty good. Does it have stories about the artists in the studio?

I sent them this email:

Hi

As a long-time reader of Mojo, I was more than a little disappointed to see your rather half-hearted tribute to the late, great Prince in your latest issue. Hasn't Bob Dylan had more than his fair share of cover stories in your magazine? There are other musicians that people care about, and Prince should've been the cover star this month. Perhaps if you stopped relentlessly pandering to the same tired white, male, rock elitists, you may actually increase your readership.

What suprised me was seeing not only Purple Rain, but Sign o the Times in the Tesco CD section.

Look, Mojo ain't putting Prince on their cover because he simply doesn't sell. Whereas Dylan does. They've said this over and over whenever someone complains there's yet another Beatles or Stones or Pink Floyd cover: those issues sell.

.

In the end they need to abide by the marketplace, plain and simple. They're one of the few surviving music mags and they'll do whatever's necessary to keep on publishing.

We got the Q here in NZ and it is largely a rhash of the 21 page Prince speical in the December 2014 issue, but the article they reprint from 1994 is worth the price alone. I had to pay for an airfreighted copy ($21.50 NZ or about $15USD). The Mojo and Uncut we will get soon hopefully.

.

Really want the time, one, but limited editions are hard to get in NZ, Also have the Daily Mirror tribute that cost some $27.50 compared to £4.99 back in the UK.

i see your point but given the global reaction currently I think they are perhaps making a mistake...so many newly curious people our there. I guess there's more than enough tribute publications already out there. Whatever..ain't going bring our man back.

That is a disgrace !! I dont care if Prince dont sell the magazines if that is their excuse - which is so lame - this has made me so angry !!!!!! I hope they lose readers because of being so insensitve and mean

The cover does yes, but the article is fairly bog standard.

Choked up. Man, I feel you. Duane Allman has been gone a loooong time and people still get choked up over a magazine cover on a newstand with him in the band. Peace be with you, my brother.

.

By the way, you do realize there were magazines with Prince on the cover in the picture you posted, no?

But that doesn't seem to have bothered the other UK rock/pop magazines, who have all honoured Prince with a cover as tribute. Personally, I think the incredible outpouring of grief and rekindled interest in Prince after his passing should have made a Mojo cover feature a no-brainer. They obviously thought he sold enough magazines to justify putting him on the cover two years ago for the Hit'n'Run tour...and his actual death isn't worthy?

Which ones are worth getting? I got the Time magazine, which i thought was pretty tasteful and had some new info and nice pictures. Q seemed like they didn't have much new to add to what they previously published.

I haven´t been able to find TIME magazine here. Maybe I´ll order it.

What new info did it contain?

That's their business. How many of those mags have featured Prince on their cover in recent years?

Perhaps that issue was such a low seller? Also, this issue is part of a special promotion.

Im sure the MOJO magazine would have sold 3 times as much with prince on the cover. So basically they are brain dead for this decision. think about it, this week, most people are buying those mags with Prince on it, Id be interested in seeing their sales for this one. Im sure it would be low.

With all due respect, this is bull.

One of the most notable figures in rock history dies (the most notable in my opinion) and they can't even be bothered giving him the front cover.

I have these they both have nice pictures. The people special is abot 105 pages long Some rare pictures in nice quality
