Sniffin’ Glue was started by Mark Perry and Danny Baker when Perry left his job as a bank clerk & started the punk fanzine, Sniffin’ Glue (& Other Rock & Roll Habits), in July 1976, after seeing the Ramones for the first time. It folded when Mark’s own band, Alternative TV, began to get noticed. Their first single, Love Lies Limp, was a freebie with issue 12 of Sniffin’ Glue in August 1977 “I put the magazine together with the same ‘back to basics’ approach as the music that I was to feature. The main text, if you could call it that, was typed out on an old children’s typewriter that my parents had bought for me as a Christmas present when I was about ten. The titles and the limited ‘graphics’ I scrawled out with a black felt tipped pen. It was raw, to say the least, but it put across the punk message perfectly” – Mark Perry thrashmetalpunk
