Club Magazine was first published by IPC in January 1970 and is not to be confused with the mid-seventies 'top shelf' magazine of the same name that was published by Paul Raymond.

The 1970/1971 incarnation of Club magazine was subtitled 'For Today's Man' and was essentially an attempt to put in one magazine everything that appealed to the typical intelligent aspirational 1970s male: interesting interviews, discussions and features plus beautiful women, cars, gadgets, films, alcohol etc.

**********************

From Google - A brief history of Club Magazine:

IPC tried to crack the men's market with Club – 'for today's man' and contents page pullers such as: 'If you don't swing – don't come in' and 'Come inside for a look at tomorrow today.' The contents page alternated between the title 'between the sheets' and 'key to the club'.

Club featured topless photo shoots on its colour centre-spreads and often used actresses and models on its covers. Terry Hornet was editor and production was headed by Bridget Rowe – possibly the same woman who went on to edit Women's World (also under Hornett at Carlton) and later the Sunday Mirror and the People. Christopher Ward wrote a column.

Interposed among the sections were two or three topless photo shoots.
Club lasted just 21 issues. An editorial on the back page of the last issue ('Thank you and good night') claimed that about half a million men read Club each month, but only 80,000 bought it – too few to sustain the magazine. IPC's failure was seen as having wider repercussions: 'The shame is that Club's closing will probably make any other publisher wary of putting out a similar product for young men.' As can be seen in the Men's Magazine History, that statement was prophetic.

Fashion editor is Michael Roberts.  Production staff inc Mick Brown.
