Fab 208

In connection with Slade's Flame-tour in 1975 there was an on sale "souvenir" edition of Fab 208 and I have a copy of that.
The poorly researched text of the magazine was written by Judith Wills. It's a 7 pages biography taking the reader from the childhood of the guys and up until the making of Flame. Sometimes the story of the band is altered in order to cater to a teen audience, omitting things like Dave's marriage and the real ages of the boyz. The magazine is, however, spiced with interviews with the boyz and many nice photos. Furthermore it includes a discography complete with release dates and chart positions. So it's a nice little item after all.
