Sounds, 19/26 December 1987 (95p) – 'The all-star Christmas double issue' ('The bumper thumper!') of the British weekly rock and music paper, with Andrew Eldritch of the Sisters of Mercy on the cover, photographed front and back by Mary Scanlon. Cover stories: Sisters of Mercy – an exclusive Andrew Eldritch interview, in typically sardonic seasonal form; 'U2 in Miami' – an end-of-year report from the American leg of the Joshua Tree tour, with Bono reflecting on the weight of responsibility placed on the band; 'AC/DC – the most influential rock group of 1987 to make a New Year comeback', with Angus Young interviewed inside; 'Inside Stories – 1987, the year inside out', a 12-page round-up of the year's rock news; 'The 50 albums of 1987', an eight-page guide to the year's most important releases; and 'Singles of the year', in which the stars choose their favourite singles of 1987. 'Unwrap your Sounds for a seasonal spread.' The issue came weeks after the release of Floodland, the Sisters of Mercy album of 'This Corrosion', as U2 closed the tour that made them the biggest band in the world, and just before AC/DC's 1988 album Blow Up Your Video. Sounds, founded in 1970 and published until 1991, was the rock-leaning rival to NME and Melody Maker. Inside, the paper's usual news pages, single, album and live reviews, gig guide and classified advertisements. Published by Spotlight Publications, London. Newsprint, tabloid format, about 29 x 40 cm; a bumper double issue. A collectable year-end issue for fans of the Sisters of Mercy, U2 and AC/DC, and a handy guide to the music of 1987. THEMES: Sisters of Mercy, Andrew Eldritch, Floodland, U2, The Joshua Tree tour, AC/DC, Angus Young, albums of 1987, goth rock, Sounds magazine, British music press, music memorabilia.
