Raising Hell Zine Omnibus 1982-1990

The best of all 22 issues of this classic Leeds, UK DIY zine squeezed into 500 pages. Considered by some to be the greatest UK zine of the time, of ALL TIMES in fact. Digitally remastered (!) from the original pages which survived all those years . A true insight into the language, the aesthetic, the humour, the anger, the emotions of the times and the places.

The glory days of tape trading, letter writing, and classified ads came about due to the explosion of punk and hardcore across the globe. In the UK a network of zines covering this exciting era also exploded, and few were more integral than Raising Hell. First published in 1983 by editor Ben Cooper and running into the 1990s, Raising Hell sat in a unique position as a zine which covered the cresting of UK82 and anarcho punk, through UKHC and the emergence of the truly global network of friends. With a hand made aesthetic and DIY righteousness, Raising Hell featured all the best in its pages from the UK and beyond.
