RCD MAGAZINE

VA - RCD Classic Rock Collection [1993] (16 x CDs)

RCD Magazine was a monthly UK magazine that combined the compact disc and rock music. It was published by Northern & Shell, which also produced sister magazines Soul Compact Disc and Heavy Metal Compact Disc. RCD Magazine ran for 16 issues from July 1992 to October 1993. Each issue came with a free CD that featured classic rock songs from various artists and genres. Some of the themes of the CDs were psychedelia, electric blues, hippy chic, punk plus, live and blues. RCD Magazine also featured interviews, reviews, news and profiles of rock musicians and bands.

RCD Magazine was one of the first magazines to use the CD format as a way of promoting rock music to a wider audience. It was aimed at both fans and collectors of rock music, as well as newcomers who wanted to discover more about the genre. RCD Magazine was praised for its quality and diversity of music, as well as its informative and entertaining articles.

RCD Magazine is no longer in print, but it is still remembered by many rock enthusiasts as a valuable source of music and information. Some of the issues and CDs are available online or in second-hand shops for those who want to relive the glory days of rock music in the early 90s. (B)

  2. I have about 6 CDs from this series - which was about all I could find at the time of the magazine issue. Quite an inovative concept at the time and a great magazine. I bought issue 16 but didn't realise that it was the last one and I probably went over to Mojo and Uncut after that. A great addition BB, it will fill in the gaps I have in this collection - thank you so much.

  7. Didn't get any of these mags here, but I've collected about thirty over many years. Some had a few popular songs, but made up the cd with unknown artists, and in many cases, rubbish music. This series is a beauty - good summer listening. Many thanks BB
