Unoriginal Sins is an established venture trading in the field of the contemporary and modern avant garde movements from 1900 to the present day. We have a vast inventory of books, documents, artworks, ephemera, object multiples, LPs and other digital media as well as representing major collections from significant artists.

We trade almost entirely online - we purchase new material all the time and offer regular clients email lists (which you can sign up to here) of new arrivals. Soon after the distribution of those lists, new items are placed online so it is worth returning regularly to this site to see what new things are for sale.

It may be possible to visit in person and see our inventory but that is by appointment only - please email us. We can supply references for new clients should that be required.

We are always looking for new material to add to our stocks - we have a desiderata here but we are interested in all material that is similar to our core interests. Do get in touch.

DNE 11. LISTOPADU 1976 PROBEHLE US” ORIGINAL CARBON COPY OF ORIGINAL TYPESCRIPT ARTICLE RELATING TO THE TRIAL OF THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE AND DG 307 

£750.00

30 x 21cm, 5pp original carbon copy taken directly from the typescript (recto only) of an anonymous, yet detailed report on the trial of the Plastic People Of The Universe and their sister group DG307 which took place in Autumn of 1976.
Earlier that year before a planned rock  festival, Czech police arrested 22 band members, colleagues and fans in Ceske Budewece in 1976 (and questioning many, many, more usually juat because of their long hair) and eventually prosecuted the key members of the band in a trial that horrified the artistic and literary circles  in the Czech republic.
Those intellectuals (initially Havel and Nemec and a few others) responded by publicising the trial and seeking international pressure to stop the outrageous prosecution of the defendants. Four of the group were jailed at the end of the trail (gaining sentences of between 8 months and a year and half  – already having been detained for 8 months each pending the start of the trial – and the supporters of the band continued their campaign eventually setting up Charter 77.
Presumably written for distribution to supporters and to the  press this is a detailed eyewitness report on the trial of the group (only 5 supporters of the band were allowed to attend – mostly wives of the accused – despite the fact that 10 seats allocated for the public were left empty during the trial.) Very good condition with minor edge wear and soft folds.
