Blaze 1985

Bob Richert’s fanzine (Due to circumstances) Beyond our control from Bloomington, Indiana was published in three issues in 1973 and 1974. Eddie Flowers and Ken Highland, future members of the punk group The Gizmos, both wrote for it, but the zine covered a range of styles, including popular acts like John Denver and The Eagles alongside the prog rock of Jade Warrior. Richert subsequently founded Gulcher, a fanzine more focussed on punk rock, and an associated record label, Gulcher Records, also available in RAPMM.
