OFF THE RECORD

Wellington readers have probably already spotted copies of The Face around town, but it has yet to reach the rest of the country. Armed with plenty of colour, glossy paper, and some of the best contributors to the English rock weeklies, it is well worth checking out. If it doesn't seem to be in your neighbourhood yet, pester the man at the bookshop and see if we can't get the importers moving. In print in Australia is Afterwork, a free guide to a good night out in Sydney and Melbourne which replaces the pocket-sized, Sydney-based Tagg. Best-looking thing in the magazine is the old familiar Gordons advert with the diver and guitar.

I'm too much of a Tintin fan to be able to really appreciate head comics, but those who do should be warned about Arresting Tales from Dunedin's Soon Come Comics, of 34 Grey St, Port Chalmers. It's a high-class sort of production on large-format, good paper and can be yours through the mail for $2.50. No sign of the Thompson Twins, though. Francis Stark Rip It Up, No. 51, October 'Bl.
