Also includes three photographs by Pete Sanders, including one of Dylan's IoW set.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. OZ Magazine. Archive of six issues from the London edition of the influential underground periodical published between 1967 and 1973, documenting the visual culture, political radicalism, and anti-authoritarian ethos of the international counterculture movement. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode, the mat…erial reflects the convergence of psychedelic art, antiwar activism, sexual liberation, underground journalism, and anti-censorship politics that defined large segments of the late 1960s and early 1970s counterculture in Britain and beyond. Founded originally in Australia in 1963 and relaunched in London by Richard Neville, Martin Sharp, and Jim Anderson, OZ became one of the most controversial and visually recognizable publications of the underground press movement. Through collage, satire, graphic experimentation, and confrontational political commentary, the magazine offered a platform for critiques of militarism, policing, censorship, patriarchy, prisons, and mainstream social morality while simultaneously promoting psychedelic culture, radical politics, avant-garde art, and alternative lifestyles. OZ Magazine. London: OZ Publications Ink Ltd., 1967-1973. Archive of six tabloid-format issues comprising Nos. 10, 18, 35, 38, 40, and 48. First editions. Each issue measures approximately 10.5 x 8 inches to 12.5 x 8 inches. The archive includes the notorious "Pig Issue" (No. 35) and the magazine's final issue (No. 48). Visually dense and experimentally designed, the issues feature psychedelic illustration, photographic collage, underground comix aesthetics, hand-lettered typography, political cartoons, erotic imagery, and satirical montage. Issue No. 10 prominently bears the headline "The Pornography of Violence" over a blood-spattered image referencing the Vietnam War and includes antiwar commentary, student protest coverage, poetry, and political graphics including a two-page antiwar chessboard cartoon captioned "A game of chess in which the loser gains nothing, & for the winner there is nothing left." Issue No. 18 features provocative racialized commercial parody imagery beneath the slogan "Fingerlickin' Good!" alongside radical cultural commentary and underground visual art. Issue No. 35, the "Pig Issue," depicts an anthropomorphic police pig in riot gear holding a nude centerfold and references the highly publicized 1971 obscenity prosecution against the editors at the Old Bailey on charges of "conspiracy to corrupt public morals." Issue No. 38 includes psychedelic drug-related content such as "Drug Chart Extra" and "Acid Through the Looking Glass," blending illustrated drug information with surrealist reinterpretations of Alice in Wonderland. Contributors and subjects across the archive include Germaine Greer, Timothy Leary, underground music groups such as Soft Machine, and activist organizations including RAP: Radical Alternatives to Prisons. The final issue, No. 48 (November 1973), contains co-editor Felix Dennis's reflective obituary for the magazine marking the publication's closure after years of legal controversy and financial instability. The archive documents one of the defining publications of the Anglo-American underground press movement, a network of radical newspapers and magazines that circulated outside mainstream journalism during the Vietnam War era. Particularly notable is OZ's synthesis of psychedelic visual experimentation with antiwar politics, sexual liberation discourse, drug culture, and anti-censorship activism, helping establish aesthetic and political models later adopted by punk publications, feminist zines, queer underground periodicals, and alternative comics culture during the 1970s and 1980s. The publication's repeated obscenity prosecutions and police seizures additionally illustrate the legal conflicts surrounding freedom of expression and underground publishing in postwar Britain. Light edgewear, age toning, and minor handling wear throughout; overall very good condition. A substantial archive from one of the most influential and controversial publications of the international counterculture movement.

Contact seller5-star seller[Counterculture] [Radical Activism] Rare and vivid primary documentation of the radical left's confrontation with the Democratic Party establishment during the 1972 Miami Democratic National Convention. New York: Underground Press Syndicate, July 16, 1972. Two items: [1] UPS News Service, Vol. 3, No. 12. "Special Convention Issu…e." July 16, 1972. 16 pages. [2] Neville, Richard. Notes from Miami. Typed newsletter on green paper. 8 typed pages and 2 pages of photographs of street protests at the 1972 Miami Democratic National Convention. Two Underground Press Syndicate Dispatches, as reported by UPS News Service-the house organ of the Underground Press Syndicate, a national network of underground newspapers. This "Special Convention Issue" and accompanying broadside chronicle the eruption of antiwar, countercultural, and Vietnam veteran-led protest in Miami Beach in July 1972, revealing the deep fissures between radical activists and the liberal center during the height of the Vietnam War and the Nixon era. The front page features a defiant middle finger raised above a crowd of protestors gathered outside the Miami Beach Convention Hall, a potent symbol of irreverence and rage. Inside, photojournalist Mark Diamond captures chaotic scenes of state repression, including one chilling spread labeled "Wednesday, Aug. 23: Parading at Convention Hall / Getting Busted." The upper photograph shows a group of young protestors fleeing from a cloud of tear gas, one in mid-sprint with a gas-soaked rag around his neck, while others shield their faces. Below, a more brutal confrontation: shirtless protestors, many bloodied, lie prone on the pavement as helmeted police with clubs stand over them. The accompanying green newsletter titled Notes from Miami, authored by Richard Neville, provides a firsthand narrative of the protests. "I was drafted to Vietnam to be humiliated, lied to and shot at," proclaims one speaker outside the Fontainebleau Hotel. "Now I am back home to be harassed by secret agents. Further lied to and spat upon by my government." Neville recounts, "The emotion overflowed into the crowd, many of whom, like the speaker, were clad in battle fatigues, although they didn't have the former's disadvantage of being confined to a wheelchair." He describes a press conference led by Vietnam Veterans Against the War, noting, "It was a muggy Tuesday afternoon and three crippled veterans were delivering a formal letter of protest inside the hotel while the crowd of marchers nearby roared, riddled with paranoia and hope." The hotel windows were shuttered, "The sky was muddy cobalt. Jeeps coasted. Police milled and waited. Helicopters roared. The mood oscillated wildly." The center spread of the UPS broadsheet functions as a visual protest manifesto. In a collage of candid photos, demonstrators carry a long horizontal banner reading "DROP SEEDS NOT BOMBS," while in another we see "FUCK THE DEMOCRATS," spray-painted across a barricade. In one photograph, a topless protestor raises a clenched fist while others cheer, march, and chant outside the gates of the Democratic National Convention. These protest actions coincided with the nomination of George McGovern, whose antiwar platform initially drew support from the New Left but ultimately alienated many radical activists due to perceived compromises with the political center. The visual and textual content of UPS News Service captures the generational and ideological rift between New Left radicals, Vietnam veterans, Yippies, feminists, and others on one side, and the centrist Democrats they saw as complicit in war, racism, and political repression. As the publishing arm of the Underground Press Syndicate, UPS News Service connected alternative press outlets across the country-from Berkeley Barb to Fifth Estate-and operated both as a wire service and an occasional print periodical. Its raw photography, firsthand reportage, and unapologetic political stance make issues like this essential primary sources in the history of post-1960s dissent. Exceptionally scarce in commerce and seldom retained in complete form by institutions, this pairing of broadsheet and newsletter offers an unfiltered, militant chronicle of resistance at one of the most volatile intersections of protest and electoral politics in modern U.S. history. Newsprint lightly toned, with minor edge wear; newsletter folded once horizontally, with mild handling. Very good overall.

Add to basketCondition: very good. vp (Okinawa, Iwakuni, Yokosuka, Tokyo &c) vd c1969-74, mostly 1970 to 1972. 71 items in two old folders (plus a few duplicates) of various sizes on various papers ranging from the clumsiest mimeograph leaf to reasonably well printed offset - most down the lower end of the production scale - many illustrated… with varied success by photo or drawing. The condition ranges from shabby but complete to fresh off the press - mostly up the top end of the condition scale. A splendid collection made by someone who must have been involved in the production of some of these ephemeral outcries. I suspect a member of the Beheiren - the loose organisation of Japanese opponents to the Vietnam war: on one Beheiren piece the address and phone numbers have been updated by hand; with another, three fresh copies on different colour paper have been preserved. There are annotations here and there in English and a few in Japanese.There may be a more complete collection of these things somewhere in the world but I haven't found it. I thought the Wisconsin Historical Society GI Press collection was such a place until I discovered that it is a digital collection scanned from pieces all over the world by the dedicated academic James Lewes. He didn't find quite a few things that are here.Titles include Semper Fi; We Got the brASS; Yokosuka David; GI Free Press Okinawa; Fall In at Ease; Demand for Freedom; GI Newsletter; the 1st Amendment; Omega Press; Freedom of the Press.Most of these say adamantly that the authorities were not allowed to confiscate them; I wonder how that worked in practice. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.
