Artefact

Fanzine
A Certain Ratio, God’s Gift, Joy Division, Section 25, Vibrant Thigh, The Cheaters
1980

Issue 21 of City Fun and much of this issue is taken up with a bitch fest between the magazine and Factory Records, who took exception to a negative review of a Joy Division, ACR, Section 25 gig which was, ironically, a benefit for City Fun. Elsewhere there are live reviews of Vibrant Thigh, God's Gift and The Cheaters. The magazine was, I believe, coming out fortnightly at this point.

“Do you have any more City Funs? This is great!”

“I'm glad you like them. I've got up to issue 25 in volume one to come and then a smattering of the second volume (which wasn't as good because the music began to take second place to politics and other dullness). I'm exploring ways of sharing whole issues as the image size here renders the text unreadable (and I'm too idle to scan in individual articles).”

“Hi Idle Al and thanks for the comments. There will be a retrospective Gods Gift CD released by Hyped2Death in the late Summer. You'll have the dubious opportunity to sing along to all your favourites *L*. Thanks again.”
