Introducing NME Gold, a new joint project from NME and Uncut.

The first issue goes on sale this Thursday [October 26] and is dedicated to and edited by Liam Gallagher.

Here’s John Robinson, who’s overseen NME Gold, to explain what it’s all about.

“An innovative meeting of old and new, each issue of NME Gold is a curated trip through the extensive archives of NME. Your guide on this first immersive journey is Liam Gallagher, who introduces each feature article with his favourite artists – The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Verve, Sex Pistols and many more – and reveals his own relationship with his heroes.

“In collaboration with Liam, NME Gold is nothing less than a printed mixtape of the historic music and legendary artists that have inspired him to become the musician and style icon he is today. A substantial new interview with Liam brings his life in music right up to date, while extensive picture content finds him commenting on his most victorious moments and classic looks.”

While NME Gold is in shops from Thursday, you can also buy a copy from our online store.

The December 2017 issue of Uncut is now on sale in the UK – with Robert Plant on the cover. Plant and his band have also compiled our free CD, which includes tracks by Bert Jansch, Daniel Lanois, Patty Griffin, Thee Oh Sees and more.
