- A few issues sl. rubbed/ worn.

= A rare, complete run of this important poetry periodical with contributions by numerous writers and poets. Clay and Phillips, p.112f: "The first issue featured a major section of work by Charles Olson, then barely published, and established the presence of an important magazine for new writing. As Olson wrote to Corman, Origin gave him "the fullest satisfaction I have ever had from print, lad, the fullest. And I am so damned moved by yr [sic] push, pertinence, accuracy, taste, that it is wholly inadequate to say thanks." The second issue featured Robert Creeley. Origin published a wide range of writers workng in poetry and prose (...) The possibilities for writing explored and enacted in the pages of Origin exerted considerable influence in the postwar literary scene - indeed as Paul Blackburn wrote in the early 1960s, "Origin and The Black Mountain Review; What other solid ground was there in the last decade?""

= John Wilcock's Other Scenes, ostensibly a fortnightly gazette, appears 20 times a year (but appearance is not necessarily always in the same format or can be in another manifestation). Wilcock was one of the pioneer-founders of the Underground press and closely connected to Andy Warhol. He was also the first printer of Andy Warhol's Interview. Other Scenes was his own publication. It emerged from a column by that name (which Wilcock wrote for the East Village Other) to a full-scale paper about the international underground scene. Amongst the numerous and very varied contributions (a mix of original work and contributions by the network of correspondents quoting from the international underground press) we find Ed Ruscha (logo's for nos. 4 and Newsletter 4), J.J. Lebel, Claes Oldenburg (Juxtapositions,1 no 8), Simon Vinkenoog (Amsterdam City on the Make), Simon Watson Taylor, Geldzaher (a.o. on Warhol), Bill Beckman, David Widgery, Nad Freedland, Robert Wolf, Alan Kaprow, Rosemary and Tim Leary, Billy Name, Shunk-Kender (photography), Tuli Kupferberg, Pete Young, Les Levine, Ania Steckel (photography). Pictorials by Norman Rubington (drawings reminiscent of Max Ernst), Tony Azuth, Gerard Malanga, Mazaro Nahoki, Gilbert Skelton, Denis-Lebois-Quarez, Chis Pelletier, Sine, John Bruce Walker, John Webster, Allen Katzman, Neil Phillips, Bill Hughes, Ray Johnson, John Byan, John Lennon and the Peace Campaign, Cathe Cozzi (collages), Billy Name and Irwin Goldstein.

Martin Cohen on "Vinyl" (first Andy Warhol film shown in Japan; New Face of Buddha by Schecter; poem by Mikhai Kashmarin, Haneda Riot, Karmiol with photographs of Nichigeki, and other Japanese underground issues). Year 2 no. 4 is Venice Biennale Edition (Wallace Berman, Yoko Ono, Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Christo, Ruscha), year 3 no.5 has a supplement Underground Cinema Eroticism and Visual Poetry Supplement (Warhol, Brakhage etc.).
