New subscriptions will begin with the Winter 2011/2012 issue, Backstreets #90

Boss coverage from A to Z: that's Appel to Zimny, this issue featuring extensive Backstreets interviews with each.

For our first talk with Mike Appel in 20 years, we asked Born to Run photographer Eric Meola to sit down with Bruce's former manager for a chat. In a wide-ranging discussion of his time with Bruce from the early '70s to their 2009 reunion in Buffalo, Appel describes shows like Sing Sing Prison and the Anne Murray blowout at Central Park along the way.
For our massive interview with Thom Zimny, Backstreets editor Christopher Phillips spent multiple sessions at the filmmaker's NYC studio for an in-depth look at his recent work with Bruce. Part I takes Zimny from "Night with the Jersey Devil" through London Calling: Live at Hyde Park.
In Part II with Zimny, it's The Promise, discussing Zimny's Darkness documentary as well as the Houston and Paramount performance films (and how the latter was influenced by Jean-Claude Van Damme).
Plus: Clarence Clemons, 1942-2011 (our full Big Man tribute to come in issue #91); the Carousel House and other show reports; Bruce and Ed Norton in Toronto; Lisa Lowell; Dropkick Murphys; Springsteen in the comics; rare releases from The Promise; reviews of "fan-based recordings" and Bruce boots, and more. 84 pages, full-color.

Backstreets Magazine

Now celebrating 30 years of publishing, Backstreets Magazine is an internationally circulated quarterly focusing on Bruce Springsteen and related Jersey Shore artists. The magazine began in 1980 when the first issue was handed out at a Seattle Springsteen concert. Since then 90 issues have been published, and the magazine is now distributed in all 50 states and has subscribers in more than 40 foreign countries.

We offer a money-back guarantee, as we're sure any Springsteen fan will be pleased with Backstreets. MTV called the magazine "the standard to which all others are compared." In 2008, the Chicago Tribune selected Backstreets for its "50 Favorite Magazines" list, calling it "The gold standard of minutiae mags."
