Matt - late in the day but I have UK Vogue, Vox, Face, Select all from the 92/93 years if you need them.

Bono as only the 2nd male to appear on the cover of Vogue, the first being actor Terrence Stamp.

Good luck with the book and thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Matt - great idea. I did a quick check against some notes I had (because I wanted to do the same thing about 5 years ago…) and you’ve got a great list going. My notes as follows:

1979 Nov 10th Record Mirror (Larry and Edge on cover; 1st ever U2
1982 Feb 6 Melody Maker (Bono on cover)
1988 Premier vol2 number 3
1991 May Select (Bono on cover)
1997 May 10 Melody Maker (small pic of Bono on cover)
2000 January Newsweek “Citizen Case: Bono Crusader”
2000 December you have “Bass Player” and I am showing “Guitar Player” that features Edge on the Cover story
2001 January you have “Guitar Player” and I am showing “Bass Player” that features Adam Clayton
2001 March Hits (U2 on cover)
2001 May Men’s Journal about “Heroes” (small pic of bono on cover)
2001 June High Life British Airways magazine (Bono on cover)
2001 June/July Blender magazine “U2: Making Rock Great Again”
2001 Aug Aloha (Dutch Magazine) Feature on Adam Clayton
2001 Aug MAO Magazine (Early U2 photos)
2001 August OOR (Dutch Magazine) “Bono ‘connect-the-dots” on the cover
???? Music Line Special (French Magazine) issue 5 completely devoted to U2

By the way - I do not believe there is a comprehensive book listing out there either - at least not one that I’ve found. It might be something to consider as well. If your interested in my list of books, please e-mail me separatly. Good luck and best regards,
Michael DeWitt

This might prove useful. (and from this link, the one I have seen in the last few days must be either ‘a special’ or Feb 08.

I have Telegraph Magazine (UK national press) dated 28th October 2000 with Bono on the cover.

Plus does Bono’s guest editorial control of the Independent (UK) in 2006 need to be included - even though U2 are not on the cover?

Grace & peace
