Neil Anderson - The Poser - Issue 7


 Very special, and scarce zine started in 1979 by Anderson, which John Peel described at the time as 'worth getting hold of'. Anderson was a photographer rather than a journalist, which makes the poser more of a photographic document than a fanzine. Though it is a very DIY publication the layout, printing and photography is extremely high quality, and makes for a distinct visual record of what was a fertile music scene in London at the time. This issue covers Siouxie, Penetration, Joe Strummer, Spizz, Honey Bane. The images are interspersed with short reviews of the gigs attended, and tips on gig photography. As a photographer Anderson seems more interested in cmnposition, and bands that look visually striking, though many of the groups themselves are now considered essential in the punk and new wave canon.
