Light edgewear more pronounced at the head of the spine. Mark Roberts and Adam Aitken first conceived of P76 in the early 1980s when they were "inspired by a number of other gestetnered magazines of the times and in particular Magic Sam. Magazines like Magic Sam combined cheap gestetner printing with wonderful silk screen covers. But while they had a gestetner machine and access to a stencil cutter they had no idea how to silk screen." Roberts had recently befriended an architecture student who he discovered knew how to silk screen and how to "access" the Tin Sheds on City Road by climbing in a window at night. Her artwork meant the first 4 issues of P76 stood out as a small press publication of the period in Sydney. Rochford Street Press online. Rochford Street Press unknown
