How to Subscribe to UNCUT Magazine and What It Costs

Updated

UNCUT offers two ways to buy: a subscription and single issues. The clearest price shown on the site is a subscription promotion of 13 issues for £34.99. Both options are reachable from the main navigation, where "Subscribe" and "Single Issues" appear as separate links, and from "Buy Now" prompts tied to the current issue.

Subscription options

The 13-issue offer

The homepage promotion reads "Get 13 issues for ONLY £34.99!" This is the only subscription price stated in the available site material. It works out to roughly £2.69 per issue, though the site does not state a cover price for comparison, so treat that as arithmetic rather than a claimed saving.

What the material does not specify:

  • Whether £34.99 covers print, digital, or both
  • The delivery region or any postage added outside the UK
  • Auto-renewal terms or cancellation rules
  • Whether a gift, CD, or back catalogue access is bundled in

The current issue is promoted alongside a free Brian Eno & friends CD, but the page does not confirm whether that CD ships with every new subscription or only with newsstand copies. Check the subscribe page before paying if the CD is your reason for signing up.

How to subscribe

  1. Open uncut.co.uk.
  2. Use the Subscribe link in the top navigation (it repeats across the header and menu areas).
  3. Choose the subscription offer shown — the 13-issues-for-£34.99 deal is the one advertised on the homepage.
  4. Enter delivery details and payment. The site lists "buy now" and "subscribe" as purchase prompts but does not name a payment provider, so the checkout step is where you will see the accepted methods.

Expected result: a confirmation of your subscription start issue. Common snag: if the promotional price does not appear at checkout, the offer may have changed since the homepage text was posted — the price shown in the basket is the one that applies.

Single issues

If you want one copy rather than a rolling subscription — for example, the current George Harrison and Amy Winehouse issue — use the Single Issues link, also in the main navigation. The site does not publish single-issue prices in the material available, so the cost appears at the point of purchase. This route suits readers who want a specific cover story or the bundled CD without committing to 13 issues.

What you get with it

UNCUT describes itself as "the spiritual home of great music," and the subscription delivers the magazine whose contents the site previews: classic interviews, in-depth album reviews, news, live reviews, and film and TV coverage. Recent and forthcoming issues cover George Harrison, Amy Winehouse, Shane MacGowan, John Prine, Tony Iommi, and Bob Dylan, plus a free Brian Eno & friends CD with the current issue.

Beyond the print magazine, the site itself is free to browse and carries news, features, reviews, and editor's picks, so you can sample the editorial voice before subscribing. A newsletter signup is also offered if you want updates without paying.

Practical checks before you buy

  • Confirm the price in the basket. The £34.99 figure comes from homepage promotional text; the checkout total is authoritative.
  • Check the issue you will start with. Subscription offers usually begin with the next published issue, not necessarily the one currently featured.
  • Look for delivery terms. Nothing in the available material states shipping costs or regions, so verify before entering payment details.
  • Decide on the CD. If the Brian Eno covermount matters to you, confirm it is included with subscriptions rather than shop copies only.
