Roses’ front covers part 3

Part 3 of the occasional series celebrating The Stone Roses’ appearances on the front covers of magazines.

We jump forward to late 1994 and 1995 when the Roses were on the comeback trail with the Second Coming album. The years in the wilderness didn’t seem to dent the Roses’ popularity.

The massive interest in the Roses is demonstrated by the sheer number of covers they graced in this period. A small selection is presented below.

Roses’ front covers part 2

Time for some more music press covers featuring the Roses.

All these examples are from 1990. The Roses have transcended their indie roots and are fast moving into the musical mainstream. This is illustrated by their appearance in more teen and pop based publications, and the rock establishment that is Q magazine.

Iconic Roses’ Magazine covers

First in an occasional series where I’ll feature some iconic (and some not so great) Stone Roses’ magazine and music press covers from over the years.

First up are some early examples from 1989 and 1990. These are arguably some of the best covers to feature the Roses with the ‘Never Mind The Pollocks’ edition of the NME the most famous of all.

More 20th Anniversary adverts

Here’s a couple more adverts promoting the 20th Anniversary editions of The Stone Roses.

HMV Our Inspiration advert August 2009Full page advert August 2009

HMV has taken a different approach with their advert featuring a classic Ian Tilton photograph and lyrics from She Bangs The Drums. Quite effective I feel, but possibly would appeal more to an existing fan rather than the casual buyer.

The second is a larger variation of the advert posted yesterday.
