The complete 'International Times' archive online

(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)

For years back in the 70's and 80's I used to pass 'The Chris Gray Band' painted on a wall down near Victoria Station in London.
There is talk that 'The Guardian' obit will appear tomorrow.
'Leaving the 20th Century' is also famous for bringing the graphic work of Jamie Reid to a wider audience for the first time.

For all Australians that is 'STRAK-AN', god knows where you get 'STRAWN' from...
It was nice to see that Dalziel & Pascoe meant that all the Dalziels in Australia at last learned how to pronounce their own bloody name!
Another aside to the Aussies reading this.
If you ever wondered why Sir Robert Menzies was called 'The Big Ming'. It is because the correct pronunciation of Menzies is 'MING-IS'!!!
