Reports from the Bibliographic Bunker

Jed Birmingham on William S. Burroughs Collecting

Ed Sanders

It was a good day when I finally got my hands on Fuck You Vol. 5/No. 7. Quite possibly the coolest, hippest magazine of the mimeo revolution (Fuck You epitomized the revolution as demonstrated by naming the Steve Clay book “A Secret Location on the Lower East Side”) and the most desirable piece in my collection with serious competition from Dead Fingers Talk, Floating Bear, Rhinozeros, and Time. They are all great pieces; all signed. The cover by Robert LaVigne (who discovered and drew Peter Orlovsky in the mid-1950’s before Allen Ginsberg came into the picture) of an infant demon is awesome. The Burroughs cut up “Fluck You, Fluck You, Fluck You” in three column newspaper layout is wonderful. But what makes Fuck You so wonderful is its construction. Literally on multi-colored construction paper (supposedly it would not be unusual to get a copy of the magazine with a footprint on it) scattered with freaky, turned-on hieroglyphics.

The writing of the magazine is sometimes spectacular, yet uneven. Editor Ed Sanders claimed “I’ll publish anything.” The list of contributors is impressive. Charles Olson, Philip Whalen, Gregory Corso, Gary Snyder, W.H. Auden, Pound, Allen Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Antonin Artaud, Robert Duncan. The editorial comments are priceless, especially the notes on contributors, the advertisements for a secretary, or the search for a literary assistant for Allen Ginsberg.

Here is a visual archive of materials from the Fuck You Press.

    I found issue 5 volume 7 in the garbage of a university. It’s amazing! I’ve never read anything by Ginsberg or Burroughs and this seems like a good way to start.

    Hi ! Can someone confirm me whether the fuck you Press “books”, such as Roosevelt After Inauguration, were staple bound or just free paper leaves ?

    Thanks a lot!

  4. jed says:
    June 13, 2008 at 10:58 am

    Roosevelt after Inauguration was staple bound as were most of the Fuck You publications, but that said I have seen copies of Roosevelt that were collated but were never stapled. I have seen a couple issues of Fuck You Magazine that way as well. They were never stapled at all; not that the stapled were removed at a later date.

  5. Lucy says:
    July 22, 2008 at 5:31 pm

    Can anyone tell me which issue contained something by Antonin Artaud, which text it was, and who the translator was?

  6. Jack Feldman says:
    February 21, 2009 at 7:17 pm

    I have an issue of the magazine that has no volume or issue # on the cover, just “Fuck You, a magazine of the arts, June, 1965.” On the second page it says “Number 5, Volume 9, June/July 1965.” The front cover has different graphics on it from the one you show. Does anyone know what the discrepancy is about? Thanks!

  7. jed says:
    February 22, 2009 at 9:00 am

    Jack

    As you can see with the comment about the stapling on Roosevelt, FY items were definitely put together differently. I have heard of different papers being used on various publications as well (like Platonic Blow for example or the colored vs uncolored covers for the pirated Cantos of Pound). So it is possible that different graphics were made as well. Maybe Sanders ran more copies of the text than the covers and had to make extra covers. If you can please scan it and we can add it to the archive as a possible variant.

  8. Jack Feldman says:
    February 23, 2009 at 8:42 pm

    Hi Jed,

    Thanks very much for your reply. I’ve heard quite a few stories about the inconsistency of FY and other publications, including bad collating, upside down pages, and loads of other variants. You obviously are an expert, and I’m sure you’ve seen many. An interesting fact about this copy and the others in my collection is that they were Jackson Mac Low’s copies. They came directly from his estate, as did some other interesting stuff that I was lucky enough to get. I don’t have a scanner hooked up to my computer, but I will ask someone I know to help me with it, and I’ll send you what seem to be the “odd” pages in this issue. Thanks again for your theories of how this might have happened. I’ll be in touch soon.

    Regards,
    Jack

  9. jed says:
    February 24, 2009 at 10:31 am

    That is very interesting about Jackson Mac Low. If you care to share, what other type of material was in his estate? What type of little mags and books did he have/read? I have been meaning to get a copy of DOINGS for quite some time. Have you read that book?

  10. Paul Rickert says:
    March 26, 2009 at 10:16 pm

    To help complete your bibliography of Peace Eye bookstore, may I add that there was a catalog # 4 1/2 which featured Sazbo’s collection of books he used as collateral against a loan from Ed Sanders.
    The cover of the catalog can be seen at this link:

    Just stumbled onto this site. I was living in Ed’s bookstore on 10th st across from Thompkins Sq Pk. Myself and my friend Groovy were putting together copies of “Peace Eye” and we were going to pass it out in The Bronx Zoo if Ed was convicted on obscenity charges. I was 16/17? and a run-away from Long Island at the time.

    I actually still have a copy. Maaannnnnn..do I ever have stories from back then…

  13. Gary says:
    August 8, 2010 at 9:29 pm

    Any chance of getting a list of the contents of each issue? (Which issue(s) did Warhol contribute to (if any)?

  14. Anthony says:
    November 10, 2010 at 8:58 pm

    I would love to see credits to the cover artists (if known), specifically which were designed by Joe Brainard. I know he’s responsible for the Cantos.

  15. jed says:
    November 10, 2010 at 10:25 pm

    The majority of the covers are by Sanders himself. There are a few exceptions. Robert LaVigne for Fuck You 5/7, Warhol for 5/8, Claude Pelieu for the Fugs are Coming handbill, and Brainard for the Cantos. The later Peace Eye catalogs might have another designer but I am not sure.

    If you are interested in Brainard covers go to the C Press Archive if you havent already: https://realitystudio.org/bibliographic-bunker/c-press-archive/

  21. Robert Hogg says:
    April 4, 2012 at 7:53 pm

    Great to see this site up and running, and much thanks for the dedication it took/takes to do all the scanning and uploading. I spent the fall and winter in NYC 1964-65. I visited Peace Eye books, and got to know many of the poets who contributed to Fuck You and C magazine where if I recall, I published something. I own a few copies of both mags, and many books from the period. Some of the ny poets I brought up to Ottawa to read at Carleton University where I taught for 38 years. Ed Sanders, Paul Blackburn and Allen Ginsberg were among those who came in the late Sixties, early Seventies. Those were heady days…in a couple of ways.

  22. James Beach says:
    May 19, 2012 at 9:02 am

    Anyone enamored with the Beats need to know about Carol Berge and her clique of maverick poets and artists experimenting with multimedia in the incipient East Village, 1960-66. Berge has since passed on but she first put her legacy into print: the LIGHT YEARS anthology chronicles the group’s involvement with not only Ginsberg and Burroughs, it also tells the story of why the Feds and others may have prevented their Renaissance movement from reaching the status it deserved. Charles Olson, Ed Sanders and of course FUCK YOU Press make an appearance.

    I’m getting a 502 Gateway error when either trying to display the jpg images of the covers or downloading the pdf files.

    I would really like to see these archives as Burroughs and the Fugs and The Holy Modal Rounders and etc etc had quite an influence on me in my youth but I only got to know about them through the 60’s UK underground publications like International Times and then buying the Fugs and Rounders albums.

    By the descriptions, International Times followed similar graphical methods, which I remember thinking were very cool eg the overprinting and coloured text. Sometimes impossible to actually read but inventive and always interesting.

    By the way, I can recommend the Rounders DVD Bound To Lose.

    Wow! You have a fantastic resource for mimeo revolution material here. Thanks for maintaining it!

    My Archive has a small collection of mimeo era material in it. All my scans are hi-res individual jpegs and are suitable for large size printing or for producing a reasonable facsimile if needed. That is what separates my Archive from the rest of the low-res PDF archives.

    I’d love to increase my collection of mimeo holdings. But the rise in prices of mimeo related material makes it very hard for my limited budget – as mimeo is just one of 140 areas of collection I oversee.

    Here is a link to some of the mimeo related material in my Archive:

    Daniel,

    Thank you for sharing a link to a most extraordinary digital collection at Archive dot org!

    The phenomenon of “digital” books and magazines reminds me of what Marshall McLuhan wrote about the televised or video “instant replay”.

    Applying his analytical method known as a ‘Tetrad’, McLuhan pointed out that with instant replay, one can obtain the meaning of a past situation one wasn’t a party to but not the experience.

    For me, digital replicas of texts fail to provide me with that experience of full satisfaction opening and reading my copy of INTREPID #14 / 15, Fall / Winter 1969 / 1970, or AM HERE BOOKS Catalogue Five 1981/82, but for research purposes, digital replicas are extremely valuable resources.

    The coolest thing I know about high resolution JPEG files is this: today’s OCR software can manage to create high quality searchable text from such a JPEG file as readily as from a good quality PDF file and output that searchable text to PDF or Text format files.

    With Appreciation for all the work you do,

    G. L-N.

    I downloaded the Reality Studio copy of Fuck You / A Magazine of the Arts No 5 Vol 7 “The God Issue”
    One motivation was that I knew I was missing a few pages, and maybe you had them (it turns out you had one, but not the other I was looking for). I did a detailed comparison and found a number of variations between the RS copy and mine.

    Pages missing from my copy of Fuck You / A Magazine of the Arts No 5 Vol 7 “The God Issue”
    (Page numbers based on pages numbered in Reality Studio pdf copy)

    p. 3 (second page of contents)
    p. 30 (Gregory Corso page 1, “God Is A Masturbator”)
    p. 30A (we are both missing Gregory Corso page 2)
    p. 64 (Al Fowler page 1, “junky / ‘cross the green track”)
    p. 65 (Al Fowler page 2, “LARSON O.D.’s; FOWLER SCARED SHITLESS” and “HEROIN”)

    The subsequent pages of Al Fowler are in a different order:
    RS AF page 3 (“TAKEOFF”) is my AF page 4
    RS AF page 4 (“THE ROOM, JUNK WITHDRAWAL”) is my AF page 3
    RS page 5 (“junky ii – speedball”) is the same as mine.

    However, my first two pages of AF are different than yours:
    My AF page 1 is on orange paper and begins “a bitter taste in my mouth / of a new york dawn”
    My AF page 2 is also on orange paper and begins “flouting my dignity, my desire to sit stupefied / all night, nursing the junk in my veins”. Also, at top right it reads “AL FOWLER, O.S.Mf.”

    I also have the back cover page on mine (“DOPE-FREAKS ARISE!”) with drawing, colophon, and notes on contributors. Also, the second and third pages of notes on contributors are reversed in order and, like the back cover, face the back of the magazine.

    The last two pages of John Weiners are in reverse order in my copy (pages 11 and 12 of RS copy are pages 12 and 11 of mine)

    In my copy, Antonin Artaud (RS pages 69-70) comes after Philip Lamantia (RS pages 71-72).

    Colors of many pages are different, for example the Burroughs page (Page 20 in the RS copy) is in blue, not white.

    For what it’s worth, my copy of this issue was purchased for $5 at a yard sale in State College PA in the mid-1990s. It was the only really worthwhile thing between some truly overpriced beat-up albums (I remember the Plasmatics and Ornette Coleman in there) and a hardback copy of Stranger in a Strange Land with a drawing in gold ink on the cover (added by a previous owner). I picked up the magazine (I had never seen a copy before), handed the guy a $5 bill and he bowed slightly, acknowledging my good taste.
