Fanzine Review 'Zine

You may be looking for the Review Zine, the Australian reviewzine.
Fanzine Review 'Zine is a newsletter reviewing fanzines. It was published by T'Kuhtian Press, of MediaWest*Con fame.
Like some fanzines of that era, earlier issues were published without the required pre-1989 copyright notices, possibly placing the fanzine in the public domain.
==Issue 1==
Fanzine Review 'Zine 1 was published in 1976 and ran 13 mimeographed pages. It has a two-tone color cover by Gordon Carleton, is lettersized and stapled and printed on green paper.
The first issue sold out by November.

==Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1==
==Issue 2==
This issue is undated (though between May and July 1977). The majority of zines reviewed in this issue are from 1976, but seven of them are from early 1977—the most recent being "The Other Side of Paradise #2", published in May 1977. The review of "T-Negative" is an anomaly; it says it's reviewing issues #1-35, but #34/35 didn't come out until 1979. The previous issue, however, came out in March 1977 and the reviewer says "T-Negative will cease publishing future issues very shortly", so we assume this was a "forward looking" reference, as part of reviewing the entire series. This issue of Fanzine Review 'Zine is advertised for sale in Warped Space #26/27 (July 1977), so that almost certainly puts the publication date between May '77 and July '77.
The cover is essentially the same as issue #1, with three changes: (i) A lowered price of $1.00; (ii) It was printed on yellow paper (instead of the tan of #1); (iii) The cover art has less contrast, and is a bit muddy in comparison to #1. This may be due to changing from mimeo to offset printing.
One place this zine was sold was from T'Kuhtian Press suite at SeKWester*Con Too.comment in The Halkan Council #26/27
In Warped Space #2, the editor wrote: "... all those who ordered the first issue will get the second issue free. And no, I don't know when the issue will come out, or what the subscription rates will be."

==A Third Issue?==
Now, this is an issue that certainly never happened. It was proposed in Scuttlebutt #13 in 1979 ("Reviews are still needed. SASE for format. Contributors receive a 50% reduction in price.") as well as Dark Interlude where the editor envisioned "an early 1979" publication date.
