Under Construction

Smash Hits produced a Sticker Book that was given away free in the 00th March - 00th March 1995 issue.  The same issue also came with a free set of 5 stickers to start the readers into collecting the stickers required to complete the book.

The following issue 00th March - 00th April also came free with another Pack Of 5 Stickers.

Each sticker measured approx. 4" x 3" in size and came with a peel off backing with a picture of an artist or band on the front.  On the back of each sticker there was a generic message  which said 'collect these stickers in the album available from your local shop'

This was the Eighth Sticker Book that Smash Hits published. 

​

Produced for the Smash Hits Magazine and Distributed by Panini SPA, this 36 page sticker book was designed by (Need Name) and had 144 individual pictures that you can stick into the book.  There was also a further 24 Generic Stickers making a total of 166 Stickers to collect.

This built up to a collection of the biggest acts of that year which included Let Loose, Madonna, Janet Jackson and MN8 to name a few.

Some artists, for instance 'MN8 got a whole page of stickers while other artists only had One Sticker to place into the book.

Each Sticker Book was printed by Figurine Panini in Italy for the UK and European market with Sticker Packs costing 22p for a set of Five Stickers.  Readers were encouraged to buy as many packs as they could to complete the collection and were also encouraged to swap duplicates with their friends.  There were 100 packs in each Sticker Box.

After all this if you still could not complete your collection then you could write to Panini Stickers in London requesting the ones you need, up to a maximum 20 stickers, which would cost 00p for each sticker.  The information to do this was on the inside back cover of the Sticker Book.
