But here, for the sake of posterity, are a few scant details on the tapezines that either didn't quite make it or have simply fallen off the radar.

Some Examples

- Death Zone and DZFM: Produced and edited by Keith Musselwhite.
- Ergon: An early attempt by Nick Goodman of Rayphase Shift which was wiped, never to be heard by fandom or its real star - Nick's cat.
- The Faceless Ones: Produced and edited by Nicholas Williams of Banbury, Oxon.
- Meglos: Another Keith Musselwhite production.
- Sonic Force: The 'pilot' version of Alan Hayes and Paul Hewson's Sonic Waves. Similar, but with a duff moniker!
