Ugly Things 15 from 1997 featuring The Creation now available as a digital download

If you missed this issue back in 1997 (on account of not being born yet or whatever), now you can grab it as a digital download at the Ugly Things webstore. Issue 15 is a cracker, if I do say so myself, including a massive feature on the Creation (interviews with almost all members plus Shel Talmy), along with articles on the Poets, the Rings ("I Wanna Be Free"), Los Brincos, the King Beezz, Sean Buckley & the Breadcrumbs, the Montells & the Evil, Cinq Gentlemen, Brian Jones, and more. Also Mick Farren wrote a hilarious (and exclusive) piece called "Never Trust A Keyboard Player." 100 action-packed pages for just a few shekels.
