The Long Wryter

The Long Wryter was the brainchild of Dutch Long Ryders fan Glenn Minderman who put out 3 issues of the fanzine between February 1986 and April 1987. Billed as "Inspired by The Long Ryders and dedicated to all who ride with them" it maintained close links to the band and carried some useful information on the band's background and discography.
