X-PRESSIONS
Well here we are, 25 years on from the moment Perth created publishing history with a little rag called X-Press Magazine. That magazine was rather different to the one you’re holding here – compact in a fanzine style with a rather arresting green cover – it was the ’80s okay…
Back in 1985 they still used scalpels and glue to cobble the mag together, and it was a fortnightly affair out Fridays. But it would pretty soon move to Thursdays and go weekly, and take the form of what you know as X-Press today – replete with the garish magenta X.
