THIS IS GREAT!!!
I remember seeing these at the store back in the day. I only bought one, I used to listen to friends copies. I had issue 007... long gone though.
thanks
Do you have the lot?
It'd be great to hear them all again.
Hey Bazz, I do indeed have em all, just the mp3's however no artwork or magazines.
Hey Bob. Did you find these on Soulseek? If so, then they were would have been from my cassettes.
I still have them all (the magazines & tapes), although several of the tapes needed to be "baked" to salvage the rips.
Fast Forward was a fabulous publication, and a great way of keeping up with what was going on the Aussie indie music scene in the early 80's.
It's a pity it didn't make it past the unlucky 13th issue.
Cheers.
Hi Baskingshark, I did indeed find these on soulseek where some kindly soul let me leach the lot.
Any help with covers would be great, there almost nothing on Fast forward on the net
Hi Bob.
I'll see what I can do.
The packaging for the early editions was very simple - just a clear plastic wallet with a cassette and a single folded sheet.
They became more elaborate with each edition. By Double Issue 008/009 the single sheet format was ditched and replaced by a full 32 page magazine.
What you've got up for Issue 001 is actually the whole "magazine".
Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve I always feel things are a bit incomplete without the art work
Here's a link to scans for Issues 001-004.

I haven't included the "magazine for issue 001 as you already have that up.
Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve, thats a fantastic addition to these posts
thanks for sharing these steve.. and thanks for scanning the art.. i was just about to scan my only issue .. issue12.. so u saved me some effort..
o0 and thx to the blog for posting them :)
VIVA LA BLOG!
Actually, I'm having trouble locating the packaging for Issue 010 (I've found a copy of the cassette only).
I'll keep searching but it may have gone AWOL. The rest are present and correct, so I'll do some more scanning in a day or two.
Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve they look great on the posts, very nice packing all round.
ciao bob
Steve and Bob, I'd honestly given up ever seeing these again. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are both champions for making these very rare items available in digital format.
