UNCUT (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UNCUT magazine is a popular monthly publication based in London. It is available across the English speaking world, and focuses on films, music and books. A DVD magazine under the UNCUT brand is published quarterly, although this rate might change in the future, when the spin-off becomes more established.

UNCUT contains, amongst other things, lengthy features on old albums, interviews with film directors, music and film news, and reviews of all major new book, album, film and DVD releases. Its music features tend to focus on genres such as Americana, rock and alt.country. Every month the magazine has a free CD, which includes both new and older music.
Special Issues have covered Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Byrds, David Bowie, Demon Records, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Martin Scorsese, Motown, Morrissey, and more.
UNCUT underwent a radical redesign in May 2006, as a result of which the magazine no longer catered for books and reduced its film content. A few months later, in August 2006 circulation figures revealed that Uncut had lost almost a fifth of its readership and had axed its spin-off DVD magazine after just three issues.
[edit] UNCUT (DVD Magazine)
In late 2005, IPC Media launched a spin-off of the main movies and music magazine, which focuses its attention on the DVD market. This magazine is aimed at the market of such established titles as Ultimate DVD, DVD Review and DVD Monthly. Uncut DVD folded after just three issues due to poor sales. Its demise was announced in August 2006.
