Red News - 25 today

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. So here's raising a glass to one of Britain's longest running fanzines

arsed

Well this has gone well.

I'll point Barney in the direction of this thread, he'll be ecstatic.

great read is red news, shits all over red issue

Red News was the first fanzine I ever got. I used to get it from Omega music in Northwich. The bloke that owned the shop was The Charlatans manager too.

I remember David Meek slagging it off in the Evening News for making crude jokes about scousers, next thing I heard was Red News sales had gone up about 400%!

It was really £#%&!ing depressing to read during Eric's ban and I stopped getting it at that time. I felt much worse after I'd read it than beforehand.

Steve Harrison. Omega was a cracking shop, when the used to have the 7"s upstairs in a little room it was like a goldmine.
