The most important underground paper in Britain in the late sixties, with caricature and satire, innovatory design and art work. Founded as
International Times, but title abbreviated after threats of legal action from
The Times. For seven years fortnightly except for occasional delays caused by police action or editorial changes. It was financed in periods by The Beatles and was central to the development of 1960's culture. Many of the most distinguished figures in the British underground press worked on
It like: Tom McGrath, John "Hoppy" Hopkins, Mick Farren, Roger Hutchinson, David Mairowitz, Peter Stansill, Chris Rowley, John Carding, Sid Rawles, Bill Dwyer, John Peel. From outside Britain we find contributions by William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Ezra Pound, Alexander Trocchi, Gary Snyder, Norman Mailer, Dick Gregory, Simon Vinkenoog, Kate Millett, Jean Genet (on the RAF, previously publ. in Le Monde), Claes Oldenburg, a.o. The emphasis of the paper changed over the years, varying from predomiantly sexual to predominantly political, with a strong tendency to anarchism and with ties to the Dutch Provo Movement, as well as to student-movements in France, Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Also to Underground- and Anti-Vietnam-Movements in the USA. Typical topics were Living Theatre in Berlin, Drugs, Velvet Underground, Pop Pirates, Cannabis is Legal, Jimi Hendrix, Watergate, Vietnam War, Berlin Punk, and interviews with Rudi Dutschke, Fritz Teufel, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylon.
