Counterculture Zine. Though not as well known or widely-circulated as similar publications like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb, nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes, John Wilcock's Other Scenes was notable for being the most daring, creative, and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. Other Scenes was influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements in addition to Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic. The paper operated much like a virtual underground club for subscribers. According to the masthead of an early issue, Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be," and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters, newspapers, letters, brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." 8.25" x 11", 64 pages, B&W. Cover price $0.50.
