REpost: The Complete 'International Times' Archive


(Heads up from 'Jahsonic')
Every issue of the 'International Times' is now available online.
Contributors included Alex Trocchi, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.
Tom McGrath was amongst the editors.

“The first few issues had a lot of serious articles by William Burroughs about the overthrow of the state. He used it as his platform to work out his ideas. And there was Ginsberg too. All the usual suspects. When we were running out of money, I was talking to Paul McCartney about it, and he said, ‘Well, you should interview me, then you’ll get ads from the record companies.’ And I thought, ‘hey, he might be on to something.’ So I interviewed him, and then George Harrison, and then the next week Mick Jagger called up, demanding to be interviewed too. And Paul was right, we got ads from the record companies.”
(Barry Miles - 2007)
