Ugly Things
Issue #39
Issue #39 features cover stories on Brian Jones, the Clingers and The Mickey Finn. Brian Jones was one of '60s rock's most iconic stars-and also one of its most maligned and misunderstood. Harvey Kubernik attempts to set the record straight via interviews with many of the people that knew or met Brian. Sharing the cover with Brian is one of the first all-female rock groups, the Clinger Sisters. Their story is a gripping saga of teenage drama and determination. Then there's an in-depth feature on one of the ultimate UK freakbeat groups, The Mickey Finn, and an interview with Michael Des Barres about his rock n roll days with Silverhead. Other interviews include Chris Bailey of The Saints, super drummer Johny Barbata (Turtles, CSN&Y) and Aussie rocker Ross Wilson of The Pink Finks and Daddy Cool. Also present are stories on the San Pedro garage band The Grapes Of Wrath, Santa Barbara's Turquoise, French Yé-Yé girl Anne Philippe, UK '70s punks Red Lights, and folk-rock duo David & Anthony. Cyril Jordan of the Flamin' Groovies revisits the year 1968, and of course you get the comprehensive review sections covering all the latest reissues, in-depth, and rock'n'roll-related books.
