Burnt Offering was a punk fanzine based in and around Northampton, England, from 1979 to 1980.
In keeping with the DIY style of the time, Burnt Offering's house style was a mixture of badly typed articles, ransom note effect lettering and cartoon drawings. Its content included interviews, rants, reviews and news of forthcoming gigs.
Burnt Offering ran for twelve issues, sold for 10 pence and was available via clothes shops and record shops.
In 2006 The Isaws, who had been a prominent local band interviewed by B.O. in 1979, released a demo CD titled Burnt Offering.
Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or offering:
“One year
They sent a million here:
Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.
The fat of good
And evil, the breast’s star of hope
Were rendered into soap.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
