VOX
UKVox was a British music magazine, first issued in October 1990. It was published by IPC Media, and was later billed as a monthly sister-magazine to IPC's music weekly, the NME. Although Vox was seen as IPC's response to EMAP's Q magazine, it was unable to match the circulation figures generated by Q in the 1990s and was closed in the late 1990s as IPC had launched Uncut.
Vox came with a 32-page magazine insert, Record Hunter, for collectors.

distribution of banknotes carrying portraits ot JAGGER,
ZAPPA and LOU REED.
In a similar move, newly-emerging democratic states in the
former Soviet Union eager to generate both a progressive
image and hard Western currency are also keen to issue
banknotes with the likenesses of such cultural icons as
STING, MADONNA, McCARTNEY, HENDRIX, ZAPPALIN, the FLOYD and
JANET (as opposed to Mad Mike) JACKSON.
