WARFEAR- (Magazine-Bottomline Press-Usa-1992)


 Another fantastic art-work/pictures/collages magazine by the great John Yates.I wrote about him many times when I posted all the issues of  Punchline Magazine.

This one reminds me a lot the work done with Punchline-a punch in your face pictures with very straight messages!! As a 7inch size,it very much looks like a vinyl. It comes with a big poster and two postcards. All the relevant scans included in this folder.

To complete this introduction I add the editorial by John.I must write a BIG THANX to John, for giving me permission to post his excellent publications. This is unquestionably a classic of the underground press from the 90s. Enjoy it.

v.a.-Allied Recordings-Music For The Proletariat-(Allied Recordings-Usa-1993)

Allied Recordings was an  hardcore punk label from San Francisco, California- run by John Yates, a graphic designer whose work can be seen on many covers of punk and hardcore records, also known for Punchline, a graphic magazine with sociopolitical contents.
The graphix works in this cd are indeed by him !Amazing stuff. 
John called this cd " An Inevitable Compilation from Allied Recordings"-you`ll find here a very good selection of bands and tracks expressing ideas and sonics messages touching the post punk,the hardcore,the indie rock and much more with a personal touch,never going on the commericial music yet very joyful.
A great sampler for future generations of non-compromising jingles.
