Talking of rave magazines,,,

Talking of rave magazines by 1992 rave had gone from a niche movement, acid house, to the main stream. More than 500,000 people were regularly going to raves throughout the country, people were very passionate about it as well and that dedication spawned quite a large number of magazines like Eternity, Blaze, M8 etc many of which ran for a long time. Eventually as the scene declined this either closed or transformed into House music mags, like M8.

These magazines are a great resource for ensuring that rave music and the scene was/has not been forgotten

Rave Magazine covers

We have started adding scans of our large rave magazine collection to the flyer archive. We know they aren't rave flyers but they were a great part of the scene and worthy collectors item. The likes of Eternity, Dream, To the Core and more carried many articles and event reviews.

Whats the most expensive flyer?

Well we don't know for sure so if you do then we would like to hear your suggestions for the award. However we know of one collector who says a Fantazia at the Hacienda flyer can sell for inexcess of £50.

Now that is a rare flyer as it was for a promotional night aimed at other dance promoters from 1992, another very rare Fantazia flyer is the Prodigy gig at the Barrowlands again in 1992. Others to watch out for are our Aussie gigs ones.

If you are lucky to find any of these you have hit the jackpot. Of course many of the Fantazia ones are highly prized and sell well, but many were made in large numbers so can normally be found for between £5 - £15
