Oh I <3 You so much! I have wanted to see this since it was released, and never even got near it. At last! Hope to see the rest sometime!

For those of you who weren't fortunate enough to get this zine when it was first released are in for a real treat! It's truly a work of art from hardcore Go-Go's fans. I'm so excited for this site.

Hopefully some of the members of the Go-Go's will support this and pop in every now and again for commentary and even to share some of their personal stuff with us!

Very interested in p5 - at the top, which claims Charlotte was the lover of Maria 'something' - can someone with the original see what that says? - who herself was Ginger's ex. It's another nice connecting link, and it's more proof of what Belinda said a few years ago in a gay mag interview: "What you're asking... we've all been there". Are you planning to put up the rest "in time"?!

^^Though a bit difficult to see, that caption's not about Charlotte - the lines from that statement point towards the other direction.

If the Go Go's are without Cathy Valentine, Why can't Margot rejoin the Band?

How much is the original paper copy of this zine worth when it was personally given to you by Jill Reiter in the East Village? :-)

About Marks In Time

This Franco-American, cyber-zine came about as a natural progression of two people meeting and discovering that their musical tastes - to a very large extent - reflected one another's. Interestingly, although our coming of age eras spanned oceans, continents, cultures and decades, musically speaking, we both understood the same language.

This project itself is in large part an outgrowth of a zine Eden Felt created with Iraya Robles in 1992 entitled "Marks in Time: The Very Early Go Go's (1978-1980)." As only 500 copies of the original 98 page zine were ever printed, it sold out immediately and was never re-released. Later, it came to Eden's attention that a handful of ordered zines were never properly sent out and received, which further motivated him to figure out a way to re-release the zine in some format for free, with additional rare audio and visual materials offered (some which have never been released to the public prior). The plan now is to release the zine in 10 page installments with relevant music uploaded for each "chapter." We further plan to offer additional related material - images, articles, art, interviews, etc. - not originally offered in the zine to supplement and update the topic.

To this day, the early punk roots of the Go Go's are still little-known or understood, so with the release of this site we hope to offer additional insight into this specific era of the early LA punk underground as relates to the Go Go's specifically, but also including related seminal bands from that scene such as X, The Germs, The Bags, The Weirdos, Fear, The Alley Cats, Castration Squad, Wall of Voodoo, Nervous Gender, The Screamers, The Zeros, The Extremes and many, many others.

Lastly, we would like to salute Paul Barber from England, co-creator of "Beatnik Beat," for not only encouraging us early on and offering insightful feedback and support, but also doing a brilliant job scanning the MIT document itself. Remarkably, the quality of the images look exactly as they did the day it was first hand-painted and collated on Iraya's living room floor, so thanks tons for helping us mate & cheers to you!

Enjoy / Amusez-vous bien !
