Vintage Rock | Jun/Jul 2025
In our latest issue, we speak to Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett for our exclusive cover feature that takes a deep dive into the history of The Shadows as their mighty Apache celebrates its 65th anniversary.
Elsewhere, we look back on the bustling Soho session scene of the early 60s that birthed future rock gods Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones plus we celebrate the career of those smooth icons of R&B, The Platters.
There’s also a must-read examination of the complete works of Fats Domino, where we highlight his finest singles, albums and appearances on the big screen.
We pay tribute to the recently departed Sam Moore, one half of Stax legends Sam & Dave, and profile the all-too-brief career of Rockabilly Hall Of Famer, Bob Luman.
VR shines its new talent spotlight on Howlin’ Ric And The Rocketeers plus East L.A’s Thee Sinseers and we remain Stateside to uncover the story of Bobby Troup’s smash hit single (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66, famously covered by Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones.
Our latest classic album is Jerry Lee Lewis’ star-filled Last Man Standing and we head into orbit to count down the Top 20 best rockin’ space songs.
