2.8: p1 What are some ska-related 'zines (fan-created magazines)?
Mike Fragassi, mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu, who supplied much of the
original info in this section, advises (circa 1994):
I have personally not yet tried any of these, except for the
WNUR newsletter, from which I have gotten the addresses of all of
the rest. Some of these seem to be info-sheets for a given band.
Others are more comprehensive ("Rude" and "F.B.I.", for instance,
are highly recommended). All zines should be assumed to be written
in the language of the country they come from. Prices are the most
recent info, again obtained from Chuck Wren's newsletter; neither
me nor he nor anyone who handed you a copy of this FAQ are
responsible for mail screw-ups or unreturned money; if in doubt,
send a business size (Size 10 US or DL international) SASE first.
More Internet 'zines are indexed in the CRAM index, at this URL:
