Between the Covers

Softcover. Tabloid folios. Overall very good or better with general wear, and tears and nicks along the foredge of issue one and the spine of issue two. The complete run of three-issues of this early Bay Area punk magazine that predates LA's influential *Slash* by a few months. While *Psyclone* covered a good deal of mainstream music - The Kinks, Genesis, and John Cale, its punk leaning are obvious with coverage of The Ramones, The Dicators, The Nuns, The Damned, The Patti Smith Group, and Blondie; wall-to-wall ads for Mabuhay Gardens, and a regular two-page spread each issue featuring a "Punk of the Month." All issues are scarce, the first issue is particularly uncommon. *OCLC* locates just one run at The San Francisco Public Library.
