GILL, David. The Herb Garden: The Super, Smashing Great Issue.

(Leeds): The Herb Garden, 1993. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. Issue 7 of this cool rave zine by Leeds club face, Dave Gill. Two-faced in the finest sense, and much better dressed than the average dance rag, Herb Garden was a miracle of foul-mouthed equanimity, its editorial stance uniquely poised between celebration and condemnation of our drug saturated sub-culture. It didn’t moralise, patronise or pretend to advice its readers, but instead mirrors their world with tasteless send ups of overpaid DJs, overpriced clubs, overrated artists and the kind of PR-based dross found in most style magazines.
