This month, Retro Pop welcomes the world's best girl group - Bananarama - to the cover, as they prepare to release their stunning new album 'Masquerade' amid their 40th anniversary celebrations!

In a career-spanning interview, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward look back on four decades of pop excellence, reveal their career highlights and uncover a few very exciting gems in the archive that have yet to be released… 

Elsewhere in this issue, there's an exclusive behind the scenes look at ‘ABBA Voyage’, with director Baillie Walsh and producers Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson talking us through the creation of the spectacle and revealing their plans for the future of the show. 

Once again, we dive into the vaults and unleash a 2012 archive interview with late Dead or Alive legend Pete Burns, who looks back on his chart-topping career and offers an insight into life away from the spotlight during his later years. 

There’s plenty more: Toyah celebrates her career renaissance and candidly reveals how her life has changed from the ‘80s until now; Richard X talks us through his biggest hits and long-running collaborations; Swing Out Sister look back on 35 years of hits; and we celebrate 30 years of dance floor divas Angie Brown and Kym Sims.
