This article was on the BBC's website yesterday about the significance of fanzines in documenting rock history, especially punk rock.

I wonder how much some of my old hardcopy Final Cut zines might fetch on Ebay someday...

i have a few 'flipside' magazines ranging from the early 80's to the early 90's. covers a lot of early LA punk bands.

and also have a few maximum rock n rolls...a lot of 'johnny more punk than you' shit in there. i think you can still get this zine though...not sure.

Yeah you can still get MR&R and thats what I always hated about it too. But there was always some good stuff/bands in there. Sorta what introduced me to bands back before we had this internet/myspace crap.

MRR the bible of punky rocky.
It has gone downhill since Tim Yohannon passed away a few years ago.
Slug and Lettuce is a great zine,newspaper print 100% recyclable.
I love collecting zines from overseas,can't read some of them because of the language. But I like looking at the pictures.
