In the beginning there was scant mainstream media and little else when it came to rock ’n’ roll journalism. “Rolling Stone” & “Creem” pioneered rock genre coverage and in their wake came a host of “fanzines” published by others who weren’t insiders, but hardcore fans, future movers and shakers in that scene.
Now up for auction on ebay are some of the more rare early ‘zines – “Jamz” & “The Rock Marketplace” by Alan Betrock, “WPTBomp” by Greg Shaw, “Future” by Greg Prevost, “Not Fade Away” by Doug Hanners, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Confidential” by Dave Marsh along with others.
If you’ve not seen or heard of them check out the vendor “Revfever”. They were among the best of that era…
