Mostly OT - Deadbeat 1 Edinburgh indie fanzine tape from 1983

[Martin]

There were a few cassette fanzines. "Pleasantly Surprised" from Scotland was a favourite of mine. More on that here:

Like you say Bill SFX was mainstream but it was good. I think I have most of them (somewhere in storage) including the demo issue that was not commercially released, more of a proof of concept.
