Smash Hits - France
I grew up reading the Smash Hits in the UK. However it wasn't until years later that I found out that the magazine was published in other countries.
This page will concentrate on the French Publications.
The magazine published a Pilot issue that was given away in June 1991 in preparation for the formal launch which had a cover date of 10th July 1991. The magazine lasted 22 issues and published it's final issue with a cover date of August 1992.
If anyone has complete scans of any of the issues that were released in France I would be grateful If you got in contact so I can share them here for everyone.
Thank you.
