PART 3
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE (1992-????) The first thing to do after taking over from Derek was to put my first fanzine together, and I duly came up with issue 5 which was, once again, a fairly basic 'zine now called MUN-GO FOR IT! All in all, between Derek and myself, we came up with 18 in total, extracts from each are located in the fanzine section of the website. I actually worked on and produced (for myself) issue 19 (pictured left), but the decision had been taken to discontinue the fanzines, mainly down to costs, and concentrate on the new fan club website. From time to time, we also found time to put out a few newsletters, and even newspapers in the later days but all gave way to the website. Much easier to run even though some fans were a little upset that the 'snail-mail' days were over.

'JOE RUSH - 'WARTS AND ALL': Joe put this tape together for the fan club when he answered some questions for me, and the end product appeared in the fanzine, and now lurks on the interview page on the site. Joe basically chats about his time as a musician and also plays some of old favourites from his vast music collection - very funny and also poignant in places! |

NEWSLETTER ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF THE WEBSITE

We all thought that when we started to make 'fan club only' CD's available, I think around 2000, that we had truly cracked it but in truth they were a more than a little disappointing and the overall quality left a lot to be desired and many fans were unhappy with them. Gradually though, since those prototype days, things have improved immensly with the 'fan club only' product now of record company standard in most cases, and from what Derek tells me, the shop has yet to receive a single complaint. Now as we plough through 2006, fan club subscriptions are no more, the fan club shop is firmly in place and doing great business with more special offers in the pipeline, we have a new online shop coming any day now to be based at - mungojerry.com, Ray is recording great music - still! Things could hardly get any better! Could they?
