What Is Uncut+ on uncut.co.uk?

Updated

Uncut+ is a labelled section in the UNCUT website navigation, listed alongside News, Features, Reviews, Music, Film and Magazine. The available site material confirms that the section exists and is presented as a distinct area of the site, but it does not describe the specific content, access rules or benefits attached to it. Treat Uncut+ as a named content strand whose exact offer should be checked on its own page before you decide whether it matters to you.

What the site evidence shows

The UNCUT homepage navigation lists these items in sequence: News, Features, Reviews, Music, Film, Uncut+, Magazine, Subscribe, Single Issues, Subscribe Newsletter. The same set repeats in the page's header and footer areas.

Two things follow from that placement:

  • Uncut+ sits with editorial sections, not with the commercial links. Subscribe and Single Issues appear after it, which suggests Uncut+ is positioned as part of the reading experience rather than as a shop link.
  • It is separate from the magazine. The print/digital magazine has its own Subscribe and Single Issues entries, so Uncut+ is not simply another name for the subscription.

The site's own description of UNCUT is "The spiritual home of great music," with "classic interviews, in-depth new album reviews, essential news stories, live reviews, films, DVDs and much more." That describes the publication overall, not Uncut+ specifically.

What is not confirmed

The supplied material does not state:

  • whether Uncut+ content is free, registration-only or paid;
  • whether it requires a magazine subscription or a separate membership;
  • what formats it carries (audio, video, archive scans, newsletters, extended interviews);
  • how often it is updated.

The page does show pricing language elsewhere — "Get 13 issues for ONLY £34.99!" and "Buy Now" / "Subscribe Today" buttons — but those relate to the magazine offer, not to Uncut+.

How to check what Uncut+ includes

  1. Open uncut.co.uk and select Uncut+ in the main navigation.
  2. Note whether articles open directly or present a sign-in or payment prompt; that is the clearest signal of the access model.
  3. Compare the item types on that page with the free News, Features and Reviews sections to see what is genuinely additional.
  4. If a subscription is required, read the terms on the Subscribe page rather than assuming Uncut+ is bundled — the navigation treats them as separate entries.

Expected result: you will know whether Uncut+ offers anything you cannot already read in the open sections, and what, if anything, you would need to pay or sign up for.

A practical way to judge it

If your interest is, for example, extended artist interviews and archive material beyond the standard reviews, compare one Uncut+ item with a comparable free feature on the same site. If the Uncut+ piece is longer, differently formatted or drawn from an archive, that difference is the value; if it looks the same as the free content, there is little reason to pursue it.

Bottom line

Uncut+ is a distinct, editorially positioned section of uncut.co.uk whose contents and access terms are not specified in the available site material. Use the navigation entry to inspect it directly, and rely on the Subscribe page only for magazine pricing, which is documented as 13 issues for £34.99.
