Notes: On the cover are the Petards, one of Germany's most creative and idiosyncratic bands of the late '60s and early '70s. Also, sunshine pop icon Sandy Salisbury, who talks about his '60s musical adventures with Curt Boettcher in the Ballroom and the Millennium. Mark Taylor talks about his adventures with seminal Australian punk rock 'n' roll animals the Psychosurgeons and the Lipstick Killers, and we reveal for the first time anywhere the remarkable saga of Charging Rhinoceros of Soul, Grande Ballroom regulars and soul brothers and sisters of the MC5 and the Stooges (Charging Rhino sax man Steve MacKay played on Funhouse). Also in this issue: Swedish '65 teenbeat pinups the Flippers, UK '70s DIY/punk renegade Auntie Pus, the Fifth Estate, the Inferno, Stourbridge Lion, an interview with Luis Rego of '60s French beat group Les Problemes, and the post-Jefferson Airplane exploits of bass player Bob Harvey. All this and more, including our acclaimed review sections, covering all the latest vinyl and CD reissues, and rock 'n' roll-related books. (144 pages)

Notes: This cover story focuses on NYC garage-pop wizards the Magicians ('An Invitation to Cry') and the fascinating twilight world of Greenwich Village in the mid-sixties.

Also: The remarkable story of Jefferson Airplane's first bass player Bob Harvey is revealed for the first time, along with the saga of '60s garage heroes the Chancellors (famous for the Back From the Grave fave 'On Tour'). Mark Cunningham of '70s New York no wave renegades Mars is interviewed, David Holzer explores Lou Reed's obsession with the white light mysticism of Alice Bailey, and the mystery of Phantom's Divine Comedy is unravelled (rumored at the time to be the recently deceased Jim Morrison in disguise).

Plus, Part 2 of the story of Detroit proto-punkers the Dogs, and much more, including our popular review sections, covering all the latest vinyl and CD reissues, and rock 'n' roll-related books.

Notes: Compiled by Josh Cheon and Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh To celebrate 15 years of Dark Entries, this zine showcases the label's visual aesthetic, bringing together some of the most iconic designs that Dark Entries have released. While Dark Entries' sonic mission has included sounds as diverse as synth-pop, Italo disco, darkwave, house, and techno, it is equally staggering to see the breadth of visuals the label has encountered and collected over the years. Included here are selected typography, logos, and illustrations from the label's extensive catalogue-well over 300 releases to date. Designs have been created using DIY analogue techniques as well as more contemporary digital approaches. A full discography is included at the end for reference and an essay by Shawn O'Sullivan (Led Er Est, Further Reductions). This zine serves as a source of inspiration for artists as well as a means of preserving and documenting these distinct graphics. Dark Entries Records is a San Francisco-based record label that was born in July 2009. Helmed by Josh Cheon, a vinyl-focused DJ and collector, the label has focused largely on excavating the 1980s underground era-but releases have spanned from sultry vintage disco to bleeding-edge contemporary techno. Graphic designer Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh has been responsible for most of the label's artwork, whether reproducing original designs accurately for reissues or creating exciting new ones. Much care and attention is given to each release to represent the music in a memorable way as well as tell the stories behind these projects.

Hand-stamped and limited to 200 numbered copies. 64 pages with neon cardstock covers. Measures 5×7 inches.

Notes: The next electro exploration from the infamous DMX Krew comes in the form of 'Blue Bob', which scours the genre's less bangerific backwaters. The four tracks on this new EP her for Further Electronix centre on everything from the weezy, to the gaseous, to the strange. 'Ambient Fog' does what it says on the tin, working as one of Krew's most minimal cuts to date; its noir synth strings and piquey melodic motifs sound like the soundtrack to a space-age murder mystery, as we try to decipher who killed Zog with what; a laser-blaster? a lightsaber? a photon torpedo? 'Clean The Stylus' and are 'Blue Blob' further sci-fi pleasantries, with icy blue notes and propulsive FM basses gluing it all together.

Notes: The Winter 2022 annual focuses on the creatives behind some of this year's standout shoots.

Introducing next edition of the The Collections, the limited edition publication compiling the best articles and photography of the last year.

The new issue, The Collections Vol. IV, launches today (17 November) and is in stores from 24 November. This year's collectable annual showcases behind-the-scenes insights from some of Crack Magainze's best features and imagery from 2022. This includes landmark covers such as Top Boy, Mistki, Carly Rae Jepsen and Hessle Audio as well as shoots with artists such as Lous and the Yakuza, Gaidaa and Girlpool.

The Collections was started up in 2020, during the pandemic, as a way to publish their best features at a time when the monthly magazine couldn't be printed. Since then, Crack Magazine have continued to use the publication as a space to celebrate and spotlight the work shared in the months prior. The fourth edition focuses on the creatives and shoots that make up the monthly magazine, in addition to some unpublished imagery, honing in on the global network of photographers.

Behind-the-scenes features in The Collections Vol. IV include an interview with ONDA - the photographer behind the May issue cover with Digga D - as well as interviews with artist Ethel Cain about self-shooting, and photographer Stephen Tayo about the Naira Marley cover shoot, Lagos and its creative scene, respectively. There's also a profile with Lynn Hayleigh (O-Ke) who photographed Touching Bass and a chat with duo Boy Harsher about filmography.

Notes: The first issue of Flashbacks containing photos from all over the world taken live in 1989. On 72 pages you'll find tons of great photos, some taken by affirmed photographers, others by fans. You can find bands like Afflict, Agent 86, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Chain Of Strength, Cro-Mags, Extreme Noise Terror, Fugazi, Gorilla Biscuits, Infezione, Inside Out, Insted, Instigators, Judge, Kaos General, Kbo!, Kina, Kud Idijoti, Life...But How To Live It?, Lip Cream, Naked Raygun, Napalm Death, Neurosis, Operation Ivy, Outo, RKL, SNFU, Snuff, Stengte Dorer, Swiz, Underdog, Uniform Choice, Up Front, Victims Family, Walter Elf, Youth Of Today, and many, many more.
