A modification of all these categories falls within the scope of 'Play Power,' an astonishing analysis of another Underground - of drugs, rock music ('the new geology'), communal living experiments, organized violence, street theatre and poetry. The author, Richard Neville, is uniquely qualified to conduct this subterranean tour of psychic Luna Parks and social Horror Chambers. He founded the controversial magazine, OZ, in Sydney and London and here presents an incisive inside view of the world-wide Underground Press Syndicate, involving over a hundred mass-circulation newspapers and magazine. Neville examines the media of the 'alternative society' - content, style, organization - from Austin, Texas, to Zagreb, Yugoslavia." - from dust-jacket blurb. Dust-jacket design by Martin Sharp.
