THE TICKET MAGAZINE






UK underground music magazine, The Ticket, arrived on the scene in March 1994.
They covered various music styles such as soul, hip hop, house, acid jazz, reggae, garage, leftfield etc and so the main bulk of the mag contained material based around the latest artist profiles, lots of record reviews, clubbing updates and chart lists. However, they also had a few pages that touched on things like street fashion, music history, films and computer games.
The Ticket mag cover on display above dates from August 1994, but if you bought a ticket from the Magic Bus organisation, you could have attended The Ticket launch party that took place in London a few months earlier, with DJ, Eddie Piller doing the biz for that one.
So plucking out an example of the kind of record reviews they had, I've chosen one from the same August issue - it's an Italian compilation called "Tempo Jazz" released on the Right Tempo label, the sleeve of which is out of my vinyl collection.
