The End.

"My Favourite magazine is The End from Liverpool which concerns itself with music, beer and football.The very stuff of life itself" - John Peel






















The End was a 80's fanzine released in a time when the Merseyside city was in a troubled state, Mass un-employment, On the break of rights and what the 1980's was for most British people - Bleak. However in all this came out a Magazine which was compared to the other fanzines at the time aimed at lads going to the match, It also contained much more than music from the local scene and bigger bands, It contained poetry, Liverpool pubs & nightlife. It created a fanzine that others would look up to, Notably Boy's Own.

It was a simple, laugh out loud magazine.

The people behind it have released all the issues in one coffee table sized book in all its glory - The vibrant front covers to the ins and outs at the time - it's all in there. Brilliant read.
