Unit 47 was a Scottish music magazine that hit the racks in 1984.
In fact it actually described itself as half magazine half fanzine and covered the alternative music scene mostly, but it also made room for a touch of jazz and rock.
Although there were a few pages given to well known English acts, the magazine's main focus was Scottish bands, as indicated by Roddy Frame, Fiction Factory & The Cocteau Twins on the covers above.
Lots of space was used spreading the word about unknown bands, as well as supplying demo tape reviews.
It also had stuff like gig reviews, fashion, cinema and special features such as the lowdown on recording studios.
One of the contributors was Dundee music journalist, Bob Flynn, who managed to get a full page feature on the Tayside Bar, including an interview with boss, Brian Sinclair.
Unit 47 also gave away a flexi with issue 1.
The 3 above are dated Feb/Mar, April & June 1984.
I'm uncertain how long the mag lasted however.
