The Face magazine - Eminem cover (May 2002 - Volume 3 No. 64 - Cover 1 of 3)
Good condition - extremely light scuffing around edges of front cover - there is a small blemish to front cover (see photo below)

This is the extremely scarce 'pink vest' cover which was withdrawn after publication.

Eminem was originally photographed by Mattias Vriens-McGrath wearing a red vest, but this clashed with the magazine's red logo. The vest colour was therefore changed to pink. Eminem and his record company were not happy and demanded the publisher not to print any further copies. As the magazine had already hit the shelves, the record company scoured newsagents in London to buy what stock they could with the pink cover and have them pulped. However, a few remained.

The 'pink' issue was subsequently reprinted with Eminem wearing a red/orange vest.

In total, three different covers were available:
Cover 1/3: Eminem wearing red/orange (or the ultra-scarce pink) vest
Cover 2/3: Eminem wearing black T shirt
Cover 3/3: Eminem wearing white T-shirt and beige hoodie
