Thrasher October 1987

This was a pretty good issue right here, despite the not so great cover. The feature article covers the skateboarding scene in New York. Featured you'll see Harold Hunter one of New York's best, who later went on to ride for the Zoo York team and show his acting chops in the classic film Kids. Unfortunately Harold passed a few years ago, but he will always be remembered. Also you'll see included a profile of graftti artist Eric Haze, and other prominent New York skaters at the time.

One of the better parts of Thrasher, and what seperated it from Transword and the other magazines, was the 'Igor's Record Collection' column. Although it doesn't show up in every issue, when it did appear it always had reviews of the under the radar bands. This issue features an unflattering review of Nirvana's debut 'Bleech' LP, being written off as another typical Seattle band from the Sub Pop label, and also a review of The Pixies' 'Doolittle'. Two of my favorite CD's.
