Brass Lip

Brass Lip was an English punk music fanzine with a feminist slant produced in 1979. It was edited by Syd Freake and Connie Klassen and designed by the notable comic artist Suzy Varty. There was only one issue produced and it features bands such as Raincoats, Liggers, Poison Girl, Kleenex, The Mekons and Au Pairs.

We hold a copy of Brass Lip in our collection: see Library Catalogue.
