Fiddes, Tony (author and publisher)

Genocide and Other Nasty Habits. August '77

Newcastle, UK, Published by the Author, 1977. Wraps. Side stapled zine, 11 ¾ by 8 ¼ inches. 11 leaves, including cover. Cover printed on a paper that feels almost waxy. Poorly reproduced images throughout. Perhaps first and only issue of this zine. A zine from Newcastle in the UK, seemingly taking inspiration from Sniffin Glue, but unfortunately having very little of the arty quality of SG. Fiddes handwrites his way through the zine, musing on the club Gatsby's, how punks were much more genuine way back a year ago (1976), what the punk scene is like in Newcastle, etc. The writing isn't bad, despite our ho hum review. GOOD condition. Moderate creasing and wrinkling. Minor toning, soiling and staining. Superficial wear to the lower edge and lower fore edge of the front cover, perhaps from insects. Piller p. 95. Good .

Hagerty, David, editor, author and Publisher

Noise No. 2

No Place, David Hagerty. Wraps. No place or date, perhaps California, 1979ish. Single stapled zine, 8 ½ by 11 inches. 12 pp. Photomechanically reproduced, resulting in mostly fair to middling quality in printing. If one were to envision a stereotypical punk zine, one that a movie on the LA punk scene of the late 1970s would have as a prop in the background, this is it. Cut and paste images, poor quality printing, ranting and raving, this has it all. The editor acknowledges that no one probably heard of/saw the first issue but still somehow seems offended that there isn't more demand for this second issue. That said, there is no remittance address that we could find, so that might have been the problem to begin with. Mr. Hagerty does not like reggae, likes the Germs album, reviews the Weirdos, Dead Kennedys and others, and seems to have an inferiority complex with Slash, No Mag the New York Rocker. FAIR/GOOD condition. Heavy toning and offsetting along the edges. Some soiling and staining. Staple rusted and tired. Some creasing and curling along the edges. Fair .
