In Classic Pop issue 102, as his new Juvenilia boxset compiles the years when he was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, we head to Milan to meet Sananda Maitreya who reveals all about his Introducing The Hardline breakthrough, flirting with Sade and the inspirational joys of flotation tanks.
Elsewhere this month, Classic Pop catches up with Mark Moore of S’Express to hear how he took acid house out of the clubs and into Britain’s living rooms.
We also talk to Stereo MC’s frontman Rob Birch who regales us with tales of touring with U2 and staying Connected to their fanbase.
As Robbie Williams breaks the record for the most UK No.1 albums, we review his Britpop comeback and look at the landmark eras of his illustrious career.
Meanwhile, we revisit Culture Club’s Kissing To Be Clever for our latest classic album feature and shine a light on The Go-Betweens’ 16 Lovers Lane.

We also take a deep dive into Deacon Blue’s complete back catalogue, count down our Top 20 covers albums and trace the story of the trailblazing visionaries who used Motown’s production line ethos to create pop perfection over the ensuing decades for the likes of Kylie, Janet Jackson and the Spice Girls.
