Description
FAST PRODUCT - THE QUALITY OF LIFE UK 1978 (package with 14 one-page flyers + mini product sample in plastic bag)
original and perfect copy of a great fanzine / package complete with all inserts and mini kaba coffee sample box (it seems that all copies had a different product sample as the copy in my personal collection has a mini Dixan box with artificial powder!). This is a piece of DIY punk history as it is actually in the discography of the Edinburgh FAST PRODUCT label, a label known for the great punk debuts by Mekons, Gang of Four, Human League and many others (see discography below). I'm not sure though if this is Number 1 or Number 2 of 'Quality of Life' issues as it does not carry and number or code anywhere (neither of my 2 copies do). However there is a 1978 date on one of the pages so I figure this must be the 1978 issue (if both really exist). Superb condition.
