This is one of only 26 signed and lettered du tete copies aside from the 250 unsigned copies. A Morning Star Folio. VG+. Clearly scarce.

A single number of this poetry and literary journal which has articles by Edwin Morgan, Jo Grimand, Alan Coutts as well as the second ever printing of Alexander Trocchi's "Invisible Insurrection of a Million Minds" a key text which was originally published only a few months beforehand in International Situationist nr 8. calling for progressive intellectuals and students to seize the implements of culture. VG+ - this is a very hard to find publication.

The lines all describe war machines being camouflaged - a common theme in Finlay which is a momento mori - death can be found in beauty. VG+.

This may well be an unique recording of a performance by Henning Christiansen in Scotland. The paper insert with the details of the event is hand-written by Christiansen and is signed with his initials alongside the date. Additional initials are UR and we believe this to be Ursula Reuter Christiansen, Henning's wife and sometime musical partner. This in any even is a very rare item of sound/musical art indeed. VG++.

PRINZ EUGEN*
Her nouns were round, her verbs were straight and swift

The poem sees the battleship as a sentence - the actions of this war machine are immediate and once presumes deadly, it's shape and form more aesthetic.
One of Finlay's poems in a folder although the format could be seen as a card.
VG+.

on the left "as in rat-a-tat" and on the right "Order is repetition".

The card is "dedicated" to Yves Hayat who had been a friend to the artist but attacked him after the Catherine Millet accused Finlay of being fascistic because he included a swastika in one of his works. The rat-a-tat clearly references shooting from a machine gun - and (metaphorically) Hayat is being murdered by words. VG+.

75 x 45cm, machine made embroidered clothing patch in silver-grey and red. Issued on Bastille Day 2022, Smithee's clothing patch is in the shape of a guillotine and has the text "ROBESPIERRE WAS CUTTING EDGE" on it. The artist, a professed republican, has said that while the Terror of the French Revolution "probably went too far", "it did make a point".

One of 100 unnumbered examples - each in transparent self-sealing plastic bag. VG+.

30 x 21cm, 10pp, self cover. Stapled. Xerox - black on white paper cover, Articles on Punk in London (from a Scottish perspective), banning punk in Glasgow, The Stranglers, The Pinks and single reviews etc. Another hard to find regional zine with a horribly reproduced cover - clearly punks did not know how to adjust the photocopier machines to reproduce their artwork in dark tones. Fine.
