We Think Some Eras Deserve An Encore...
The Corpse - full colour fanzine
Couldn't load pickup availability
Fanzines were the lifeblood of punk in the late ‘70s and ‘80s. They were the preferred cut’n’paste communication alternative to capitalist journalism.
Now Steve ‘Noz’ Norris, former drummer/guitarist of seminal Chesterfield punk band the Corpse, has dusted down his Letraset, sharpened his scissors and re-launched the ‘zine-style DIY ethos whilst doing his utmost to shun the trappings of the digital age.
He has spent weeks pulling together a definitive history of a band he openly admits “were the worst band you’ve never heard of”.
The Corpse followed the punk mantra to the letter – no musical talent, no intention of getting any musical talent but a heap of DIY artwork, hordes of photos and tales of audience members setting their rear ends on fire (the scars made it to the digital age apparently).
So here it is – in full colour no less - a glimpse into the largely unseen corner of the early eighties punk world in the northern town of Chesterfield without a Word Doc or Jpeg file in sight.
Think 28 pages of graveyard photoshoots, full gig history (there weren't that many but it obviously includes the Tuesday punk night at the White Swan) and throwing snowballs at the police in Darley Dale.
If you knew the scene you’ll know the names as members of the likes of Society’s Victims, Criminal Sex, Chaos Bros and No Deadmeat all passed through the ranks of the Corpse.

A welcome reminder of Birmingham in the early to mid 80’s. I would like a follow book with more paragraphs/chapters dedicated to the Nightclubs and Pubs of the era. More random photos to go along with them. I played in a band, so the Barrel Organ,The Railway were gigs to aspire too, in Birmingham. The historic Barton Arms,Fighting Cox,Red Lion Kings Heath,49 era and the Junction in Harborne, need to be remembered and recognised more fully. The Tower Ballroom and The Irish Centre for meeting people and more..
Sad not to find a mention
A welcome slice of nostalgia!
Great book. Everything I was hoping it would be. Great customer service too. Perfect thank you.
The memories it brought back were fantastic.
A+
Not only are these books entertaining, but they're also educational. I learned so much about the history of Birmingham's nightlife. Perfect for both young and old
As a music lover, this bundle is gold. It covers the rise of so many bands and the venues that supported them. A real insight into Birmingham's music scene back in the day.
The quality of these books is top-notch. From the glossy pages to the vibrant photos, it's clear a lot of effort went into making them. Proud to have them on my coffee table
Wow, these books took me right back to my clubbing days in Brum. The photos and stories are spot on. Can't believe how much I've forgotten until now. A must-have for any 80s and 70s Birmingham fan!
Had friends over, and these books became the center of our conversation. We laughed, reminisced, and shared stories all night. It's more than just a book; it's an experience
I hesitated at first, but this bundle is worth every penny. The joy and memories it brought back are invaluable. Highly recommend to anyone who lived through those golden years.
I bought the book/magazine originally for my dissertation and it has helped massively in my understanding to know what the club scene was like and it has helped to know the social aspect of Sheffield during that time. Highly recommend, it's a great read and if you are wanting to know more information on Sheffield in the 1980s.
