None So Brave
4 Issues of Adventuring Into Basketry were published during 1981/1982 - if it proves popular here I'll post the lot. AIB was a collective effort from Neil Burrows, Andrew Hulme, Ian Rockley and Jon Tait; the title inspired by a Swell Maps song. It's a rather stylish proposition with poetry from J. Tait; interviews with Echo & the Bunnymen, and 23 Jewels; a profile of Swell Maps' Golden Cockrill; LP reviews - Killing Joke, The Red Crayola, The Raincoats, Josef K, and The Flying Lizards; 7" reviews - The Associates, 23 Jewels, The Barry Gray Orchestra, The Monochrome Set, The Red Crayola, Blurt, The Durutti Column, Essential Logic, Virna Lindt, Mari Wilson, Shake Shake, Il Y A Volkswagens, and Visitors; live - Tuxedomoon, Bauhaus/Subway Sect/Birthday Party, The Cure, Iggy Pop. Regular features in the form of Baskets of the Month and Spitfire Parade + a liberal sprinkling of basketry related diagrams.

Wow, thanks for posting this, I was beginning to think I'd imagined it!
A.I.B. was (probably) the 1st fanzine I ever saw - prominently displayed on the counter of Nottingham's much missed Selectadisc back in the early '80s. Sadly I didn't buy it - cash was tight back then, plus I was still in mid-transition between Smash Hits & the NME (I was still at school after all). I've often wondered what the contents were like - absolutely brilliant by the looks of this!
Cheers for the upload - if you could be arsed to share the other 3 issues at some point I, for one, would be dead interested to peruse 'em...
Hi Rooksby, thanks for the positive comment. Sure, I'll gladly post the rest of them - I have a few posts lined-up but an AIB will follow shortly.
I used to make the trip to Nottingham myself to visit the Selectadisc - it was a corker of a shop. I miss that one.
All the best
Si, only just noticed you reply, sorry for the delay in finding my way back 'ere - did you post any more A.I.B.s? I'll peruse your site in a mo'...
