Edited by Sandy Robertson. A PATTI SMITH fanzine, the name being derived from lyrics to Smith's song 'Ain't It Strange.' Sandy Robertson was a Scottish writer.Patti Smith was the main focus, others were also featured (Sex Pistols, Lou Reed, Harry Crosby, Kim Fowley, Artaud, Wilhelm Reich, Todd Rundgren). Robertson states in issue 1: "I'm starting this magazine because I believe that I have interesting ideas and yet I can't get them published by the 'big' music papers. Mark P. of Sniffin' Glue apparently said that everyone shoud start their own paper and I fully agree." And later: "I called it 'White Stuff' because I like Patti's line (from the song Ain't It Strange), and also there are lots of black music papers, but few in this country exclusively devoted to the music of urban white kids." No.1: Vive L'Anarchie; Patti Smith, Lou Reed; Sex Pistols, and more No.2:Contents feature articles on Smith and The Runaways, reviews of Smith's singles, Snatch, and The Clash, as well as numerous photos of Smith and surrealist poetry by Hans Arp and Antonin Artaud.
