And the Anorak City flexi that came with the BESTest issue of that finest of fanzines still runs through my mind on a regular basis. This was a fanzine that said (excuse the paraphrasing, but it's from a rather addled memory) "We were on a bus a few weeks ago and we saw a Hurrah! poster. Both Clare and I agreed that they'd used the WRONG shade of blue..." - and it smelt so good as well.
I agree totally with the ideals of passion, idealism, SCREAMing, love/hate, etc that the venerable Duke espouses.... are all the young soul rebels are tucked up in their beds? (my own passion died circa summer '95, since you asked, or not, as the case may be). Hey, maybe that's why I'm a journalisty! Whatever.
Spook! Somewhere in my parents house in the UK is a stack of fanzines which, when I left the UK I couldn't bring myself to throw away. Yes I still have the Anorak City flexi given away free with the first Sarah Records fanzine (Sarah 3 and 4). I can even remember where I bought it. At the Boardwalk Club in Manchester when we had gone to see The Groove Farm in early 1988. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
