Like most other titles that published 'Best Of' or 'Special' issues these mags generally consist of reprinted material from regular monthly issues. However, some of the later issues contain all new material that did not appear in regular monthly issues and still others are a combination of reprints and new material. In the case of reprinted material I have cross referenced what appears in the special issue with the original source magazine and the dates listed are those of the original source. In many cases what appears in the special issue is identical to what appeared in the original source and no other information is given. However, a significant number of the features in the special issues differ from the sources and in those cases I have noted the differences. This information applies ONLY to the photos and does not include cases where the text accompanying the photos may have been changed slightly or other inconsequential differences.  

As with everything, there are always exceptions. A subset of the 'Best Of' series titled CLUB CONFIDENTIAL began w/ issue #58 in 1990 and appeared several times per year thru 1992. These issues continue w/ the existing numbering sytem but are also clearly identified as CLUB CONFIDENTIAL w/ a separate and simultaneous numbering system beginning w/ v1 #1. In early 1993 CLUB CONFIDENTIAL was spun off as a separate title and from that point on issues no longer caried a 'Best Of' designation and are no longer included in the ongoing count.

The CLUB CONFIDENTIAL issues differed from all others in that they contained material that is NOT reprinted from previous issues so no prior date of publication is listed for such material.  

All issues from #1 thru #60 (late 1990) are the same oversize format as regular CLUB mags except for #7, ( #8?) and #10 which are standard 8 1/2" x 11" size. Beginning in late 1990 w/ issue #61 the oversize format is phased out and issues are standard 81/2" x 11" - basically at the same time the regular monthly issues abandoned the oversize format.
