Iggy Pop is on the cover as we present an expansive, mind-blowing interview with manager/publicist/journalist/tastemaker Danny Fields, who reveals intimate insider tales of the Stooges, MC5, the Velvet Underground, Nico, Brian Epstein, the Ramones, and his role in triggering the Beatles' "bigger than Jesus" firestorm. For "Teenage Grease 1972," Peter Stanfield burrowed deep into the archives to dig up everything you need to know about the Flamin' Groovies' UK sojourn of that year. Then there's '60s Canadian psych/rock legends the Collectors, '70s French femme punk trailblazers the Lou's, a chat with Vern Miller of the Remains, and the final installment of Dave Laing's epic interview with Ed Kuepper of the Saints. Plus the strange tale of the Bugs' Boston Strangler cash-in "Strangler in the Night," the continuing saga of Canadian '60s punks the Churls, the Glass Cage from British Columbia, and more of Cyril Jordan's encounters with Brian Wilson. And as always, our essentials reviews sections covering all the latest and greatest reissues, and rock 'n' roll related books
