Original or Re-Print – BDSM Magazines
When browsing magazines within the genre of BDSM, you frequently see stated that the magazine in question is either an original or a re-print. Originals always achieve more money than equivalent re-print versions.
So, in order to explain why that is, we need to have a little look back at history and the laws in the UK that regulated pornography during the 1960’s right through to the early 1990’s
The UK had a very different outlook on pornography regulation than most other developed western countries, who had legalised hardcore pornography during the 1960’s. This left the UK out on a bit of limb in terms of what could be easily obtained, as it was also illegal to import these types of magazines from more liberal countries.
This, of course, did not stem the demand; it just created an underground market for magazines from the USA and Europe that had been illegally brought back into the UK. It was not long before enterprising individuals saw a gap in the market for copying and selling these magazines in an under-the-counter way.
So, the re-print came into existence, and it was just a copy of an original magazine. Quality, as you can imagine, varied greatly with some being excellent and others quite poor. It is usually fairly easy to spot the difference between an original and a re-printed version.
Things to look out for:
Printing is generally not quite as sharp as the original.
Publisher’s details have sometimes been removed.
Sometimes the advertisements have all been removed.
Cover pricing may be different from the original.
The quality of the paper is generally not as good.
But, after noting all of the above, it must be said that some of these re-prints are certainly as collectable as their original counterparts just because of their rarity. Nothing of course beats the collectability of an originally printed and published magazine.
Impermeable Delectable – Weather Vain – S.E. Supplies
A home-made magazine dedicated to rubber fetishism, which was produced and sold in very small numbers on a subscription basis only. It was published by a rubber latex wear retailer, S.E. Supplies, who later became Weather Vain – a name that possibly more of us might be familiar with.
Each issue had an average of 24 pages, printed recto (single sided) only, with the book being tape-bound along the spine and measuring just 16.5 x 12cm.
Title information is very hard to come by; most of it I have gleaned from looking through the books and an old newsletter I came across on the internet, dated July 1974. I believe the first issue came out towards the end of 1964, with the last issue towards the back end of 1974. Exact numbers are hard to calculate as, although I think the intention was for it to be a monthly publication, in practice this may not always have been achieved – some issues are stated as covering three months at a time.
The newsletter is interesting in that it details subscription rates; in 1974 you could subscribe to ID with or without pictures. I am not sure if that was always the case or if pictures were added as an optional extra later in the run. The price of the book with pictures in 1974 was £1.50 per copy, or 75p per copy without pictures. Just to give you some idea of how few of these may have been printed, the newsletter talks about back numbers being available as just 12 for one issue in 1974.
Content is divided between fictionalised rubber clothing fantasies and readers’ letters. Books that contained pictures showed images of models or readers dressed in rubber mackintoshes, capes and gas masks – sometimes shown in mild bondage positions.
Weather Vain at that time apologises for not having a catalogue, but do encourage you to call into the shop to see their large selection of mackintoshes and slimwear, natural rubber latex available in a range of colours and a small selection of latex lined sleeping bags – all good stuff for your rubber latex lover!
