Rare Radiohead Fanzine Drill Vol. 1 December 1993 W.A.S.T.E. Official Club Japan: $149.99
The Name \"Drill\": The fanzine is named after Radiohead\'s debut commercial release, the Drill EP, which was originally put out in May 1992. [1]
The W.A.S.T.E. Fan Club: W.A.S.T.E. (an acronym inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel The Crying of Lot 49) is Radiohead\'s official merch and mail-order headquarters. In the early \'90s, they coordinated with localized branches—like the official club in Japan—to distribute physical newsletters, lyric sheets, and band updates long before the internet took over.
The Timeline (December 1993): This zine was printed right as \"Creep\" was turning the band into a global phenomenon. Japan became one of Radiohead\'s most passionate fanbases early on, making regional merchandise from this specific era highly coveted.
