sevfiv Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 never heard of "ultra," but if the record i found is for the same magazine, it was published by Farb starting in 1981 until 1991 (?). UT austin and baylor apparently have all issues i'm also curious as to what "the carlyle" was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torvald Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 never heard of "ultra," but if the record i found is for the same magazine, it was published by Farb starting in 1981 until 1991 (?).yup, it's listed as farb publications. i was interested if any folks here were hanging out in those ultracool locales back then --- and if so, where are you spending your time now? are we still proud of those exports and are there any new ones to speak of?
