In the new issue of Classic Pop, as a 40th anniversary version of Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? is released, we meet the latest incarnation’s producer Trevor Horn and co-songwriter of the 1984 original, Midge Ure, to get the complete story on the iconic charity single.

We also catch up with Franz Ferdinand who have rediscovered their sense of fun for stunning new album The Human Fear and talk to singer-songwriter David Gray as he unveils his moving new long-player, Dear Life. Haircut One Hundred’s Nick Heyward and Les Nemes also reveal all about the band’s successful latest reunion and forthcoming new studio album.

Elsewhere, we look back over the past 12 months with our Best of 2024 guide to the finest releases that have graced our pages and investigate what’s on the pop horizon for our 2025: The Year Ahead feature.

We also put the back catalogue of Terry Hall under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and meet Chesney Hawkes as he prepares to release his first studio album in 18 years.

Our latest classic album is The Pretenders’ self-titled debut and we showcase Frazier ChorusSue in our Forget Me Not feature.

In our packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Kim Wilde, Hifi Sean and David McAlmont, William Orbit, Lauren Mayberry, Saint Etienne and Natalie Imbruglia plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring Nick Heyward, Erasure, Talking Heads, Simple Minds, Elvis Costello, Luther Vandross and much more. We also check out live shows by Janet Jackson and Altered Images.
