(c’85) Obsession was a Farnham based fanzine, produced by Matt Siebert and John Andrews, with photographs by Guy van Steene. It featured both national and local acts with issue No.1, which was printed by Martin ?, running to 40 pages including the covers. It included The Service and Controls from the local area alongside The Fall, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and The Smiths.
We do not believe there was ever an Issue No.2, which was supposed to include an interview with The Smiths, and pieces on The Chameleons and Ben Watt.
