MARK JAY's SKUM FANZINE
Issue 1: Flowers Of Romance
Sid Vicious photos / Tired of Being Skinny?

Mark Jay: "Roadent - as he was fondly known, generously invited us to their (The Clash's) rehearsal (known as Rehearsals Rehearsals) studio, where he was crashing - a looming Victorian railway warehouse halfway up Chalk Farm Road. The Clash never showed up that day. But Sid Vicious did, conning us that his disparate group of mates he had in tow, ‘The Flowers of Romance’ were a real band - who on that day numbered a pre-Slits Viv Albertine, a guy called Steve English (who claimed to be a Sex Pistols Minder) and another Steve – Walsh who went on to write for Zigzag and form Manchester band Manicured Noise. ‘Skum’ fanzine was born, christened by Roadent himself - and the rest, as they say, is history. "
