Kingdom Come # 14

Edinburgh fanzine with a feature on the Scars' recording of their excellent Fast records single 'Adult/ery'. Lots of writing about Simple Minds, who were still a punk band at the time.

Stranded aka Carbona Not Glue # 7

Quite an early Buzzcocks interview although Pete Shelley has switched to vocals by this point.

I love this quote from him:

"we're no Punk Rockers, we're Punk Mods!"

Inside Out # 7

Mostly post-punk here... cool to see something about Flowers, who I only know from the Fast Product comp.

Fair Dukes # 2

Walthamstow fanzine. The highlight here is an interview with a teddy boy about punks.

Memorable quote: "our half-cast mate, Poly, is a brilliant front"

Heat # 4

I have never read anything so enthusiastic about 999.

Also, a rather bizarre coincidence that this photo jokes about Hughie Green (not actually pictured)  fellating Bob Geldof, when it later turned out that Hughie Green was actually the father of Paula Yates, with whom Bob produced posho b-list celebrity scientologist Pixie Geldof.

Hanging Around # 7

This issue features pre-Nightingales punks the Prefects!

Hanging Around # 6

My favourite bit is the Valves doing single reviews. Not sure if the Scars whose gig is reviewed is the same band that did a post-punk single on Fast records, but as the début gig described took place near Edinburgh, I'm guessing they are.
