Worked fine for me. Limited edition covers now eh?. Hoping to create a Heads type collecting frenzy perhaps?

I have passed it onto Dave - he should be able to sort it out.

Hi Just select France for your shipping destination (it is the same price to ship to France as Estonia Â£2.29) The Big Cartel ask you to individually select shipping for each country (from afghanistann to Zaire!) easy and far far far quicker just to use the 3 shipping zones Royal Mail use (UK, Europe, Rest Of The World)

Looking forward to this one Dave

Yeah thanks everyone. Always feel guilty over the shipping charges which are pretty expensive (Rest Of The World is Â£3.80) For the fanzine to go to the US it cost the buyer Â£6.80 of which after p&p and paypal charges I get Â£2.52 which then has to pay for toner,paper,staples and electricity to print them out as all of this is done by me! Always hope that in the fanzine you get a sense of the writers love of music which is what I think Fanzines are about. I really wanted to feature more art work but it is totally flippen crammed and everytime I add extra pages the p&p prices zoom up another 20p! Takes a lot of effort and its far to say making money is not the aim of this fanzine...Be grateful for any feedback on this current issue when people start getting theirs. Its obv aimed at a pretty narrow spectrum of music obsessives and I would not have it any other way!
Dave

Mine arrived today. Very amused that the first gig in the Spacemen 3 article was at the Bedford Boys Club. I've just finished Dec Hickey's 'From Heaven to Heaven' which documents life on the road with New Order from very early 1981 to late 1984. Dec booked New Order at the Bedford Boys Club and but I don't know if he promoted the the Spacemen. Literally put down Dec's mighty tome and then picked up optical sounds - which is proving to be a great read.

Many thanks to all concerned.

Been a bit off the radar after buying the excellent first edition. Just purchased the last 3 volumes. Thats some excellent reading to catch up on Its the only "magazine" that I feel speaks my language

Sat down last night and started reading the new issue. Incredible interviews as per usual, but the Spacemen 3 article is just brilliant. I mean really brilliant. I love all the little corrections made to Erik Morses' book and the tour diary of SP3 and PD, warts and all. Just got to the SP3 stories by Mark Refroy, Johnny Mattock and Pete Bain, and i'm engrossed!

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:54 pm

The last 3 editions turned up in the post today... now just got to find time to read them cover to cover

Cheers, Dave. Your hard work does not go unappreciated.

Has everyone here who ordered this received their copy? Still waiting on mine. Never had any problems with the previous three issues, all prompt deliveries. PM'd Dave but the message is still sitting in my outbox.

Post by **runcible** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 7:57 pm

Dave is away for a few days. Not sure when he's back. I'm sure he'll get onto it though - he's a very reliable chap!

niamhm · Post by **niamhm** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 8:04 pm

Mines came a few weeks back ,very prompt,actually just finished reading ,as Laz69 said the Spacemen article was brilliant ,good to read a fresh angle on some things ,The Hawkwind bootleg piece was great as well as the Supersonic Festival review ,well done guys,

Just read the Spacemen 3 article last night. Very enjoyable!!!

As soon as I put the magazine down, I wanted to listen to the bootlegs from the list given in the article. Unfortunately, my boots are all on DAT and cassette and are in storage while I'm abroad. Are any of those shows in circulation on the internet?

I've got Crown and Castle, London 5.14.1987 and Le New, Geneva 5.18.1989 on my computer but that's it.

Cheers,

Finally arrived today. Sent out on the 14th March and only reaching Ireland now. Bonkers.

Anyways, looks like it'll be another fantastic read. Thanks to Dave and everyone else who contributes. Each issue always guarantees me a few new bands and/or releases that i wasn't aware of.
