| Richard Vollin 24th Jan 2023 |  | MagazineKicks (1979) | Rated 10/10Kicks magazine was a short-lived phenomena.
Each issue was a stuffed-to-overflow Farmer's Almanac of informative articles and interviews, from a revolving door of regular contributors, and free lance writers. It's focus ran the gamut of all things American Rock 'n' Roll; Hillbilly, Rhythm & Blues, Rock-A-Billy, Doo-Wop, Surf and 60s Garage music.
Sophomore issue #2 cemented it's place at the dawn of the 1980s by disseminating the apocrypha celebrating the sounds and gyrations of juvenile delinquency, teen-age pregnancy and high school drop-outs to twang, reverb, fuzz and distortion. 87 page tome of essential reading from cover to cover. Obtain immediately - at any cost!

YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES !
"Perhaps this is the ultimate exploitation/sexploitation reference guide ever!" - Mike Vraney
Cover-to-cover & double-stuffed with all things Drive-In, Grindhouse, Peep-Show, Strip-Tease, Times Square, Roadshow, Coming Attractions, and even monster films thrown in for good measure. Each page is naturally wholesome, life affirming and spiritually up-lifting.
Recommended reading for those with a heart condition as it contains crude sexual content, strong language, and excessive alcohol and drug use. Contents littered with useless info and sidebars on Herschell Gordon Lewis, Doris Wishman, Coffin Joe, Ed Wood, Dave Friedman - just to name a few, and profusely illustrated with original ad art. Bikers, nudists, hippies, asylum inmates, sideshow freaks - they're ALL HERE! And it's a fair bet; if you can't see it on television, it's in this catalog, and you need it. Guaranteed 100% Weird and please do not seek any medical attention whatsoever.
