Stereo Analogue England – – takes on the 1970s

I’m John Moser, Editor of Stereo Analogue England – takes on the 1970s – a semi-annual paper publication addressing cultural and political issues from a distant turbulent time, which went some way, along with the 1960s and 1980s, to shape the world we inhabit today.

The theme of the magazine can be summarized as follows: a musical Granta with heart and soul, containing a series of essays on various subjects from the period 1970-1979. Also included will be photography and illustration.

There are two further and final parallel titles in development: Mono Analogue England – takes on the 1960s (Publisher – tbc), and Stereo Digital England – takes on the 1980s (Publisher – tbc), each with full international publishing rights available (respective English edition publisher to own & direct same). Websites www.monoanalogue.com and www.stereodigital.net have already been secured.

INTERNATIONAL PAPER PUBLISHING RIGHTS (IPPR)

The total IPPR charge, per overseas territory, will be a token consideration of 100 GBP. Rights will be sold outright i.e. without a recurring licence.

The entire international operation will be run on a devolved, independent basis, with investments, corporate structures or major shareholdings unwilling to be entertained.

Paper publishing rights terms to the titles Mono Analogue – takes on the 1960s – and Stereo Digital – takes on the 1980s – will be administered by the publisher of the respective English edition (see above).
