Don't send stamps, checks, money orders, or coins, please! The list is published and updated quarterly. The list is copyrighted but you may feel free to make as many copies as you need to share with friends etc. as long as you leave the list intact and complete, and leave my name and address on it so I can continue to receive updates. Please do NOT post this guide to Internet newsgroups without checking with me first, as it generally makes my mailbox overflow when I am unprepared for it. Please only send info on bands with FEMALE VOCALISTS, who sing LEAD vocals, or sing dual vocals with a male, as long as the female sings on 30% on the songs (backup vocals do NOT count). When you send me info about your band please include members' names, a booking phone number, and a fan mail address - a lot of letters to bands are getting lost at the band's record label. Photos look shitty because of the xeroxed format of this zine, but if you still want to send them, I'll put them in. Listing format is: Band name; home town/band fan mail address, phone; members' names; type of music; discography; record label/address; booking phone number. 360's Salem, Massachusetts. Audrey Clark.
