CSP - Cyrkel Spynn Publications
Cyrkel Spynn Publications - Home to the legendary 1990's Undergroud Pagan and Gothic Music Fanzine - Cyrkel Spynn.
Cyrkel Spynn was the World's first ever Pagan music fanzine/magazine (the very first issue was published on the 31th October 1995 (though I as editor actually came up with the idea for the fanzine in 1993 (while working as a musician and having contact with many underground music fanzines... I noticed there was nothing focused specifically towards "Pagan" music regards to an actual dedicated publication at the time!!!), I only began work on putting it - Cyrkel Spynn, together in January 1995), with only 6 issues of the fanzine published, as a black-and-white, cut-and-paste photocopied fanzine!)... which also incorporated the Gothic and Alternative Sub-Culture Genres... into it's pages!!!
By the time the last issue of the fanzine was printed in 1997 (Issue 6), we had a print run of 5500 copies (5000 sales copies and 500 promo copies). The first printing of the original fanzine has become known as Volume One - The Early Years... with original copies of issue one of the fanzine, fetching as much as US$1000 (at least that's what I had been offered by a USA fan of the 'zine back in 1997 (I refused the money! the fanzine had sold out, I didn't even have a personal copy myself, only the original masters of the 'zine, and I wasn't going to reprint!!!), after issue one had sold out! Only 350 copies of the first issue were printed.)
In 2006 Cyrkel Spynn was reincarnated... and brought back to life after a 9 years slumber, the fanzine was reborn as a magazine, and came back with avengence!!!
Then in 2008, the magazine transformed itself again from a printed paper magazine into electronic format as a published CD-ROM release, with the magazine in pdf acrobat reader format!!!
