First published in 1982 in The United Kingdom. /www.thewire.co.uk/
"The Wire is a magazine devoted to music on the peripheral of the cultural radar. It has become noteworthy of late for the creative direction of Non Format (and now, James Goggin) who took a magazine that was overly cautious of design and made it brave through the use of clean and efficient layouts combined with some mind-bending display typography. Recently the interior has been leaking out onto the front cover."
