The International Times (it or IT) was an underground paper started in 1966 in the UK, based in central London. Editors and writers included founders John Hopkins (Hoppy), Barry Miles and Jim Haynes. ITs first editor was the acclaimed playwright Tom McGrath. Singer of the Deviants Mick Farren, Jack Moore and avant-garde writer Bill Levy were closely involved. The name International Times was changed to just "it" for a time after objections from The Times newspaper. However, it was anyway generally referred to by the letters "I-T". Paul McCartney helped found the paper.[1]
The iconic logo for IT was a black and white photo of Theda Bara, vampish star of silent films. The original idea had been to use an image of actress Clara Bow because she was iconically known as The IT girl - but an image of Theda Bara was used accidentally and once deployed, it was never changed.
International Times was launched on 14 October, 1966 at The Roundhouse by a gig featuring Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. The event promised a 'Pop/Op/Costume/Masque/Fantasy-Loon/Blowout/Drag Ball' and featured Soft Machine, steel bands, strips, trips, happenings, movies. The launch was described as "one of the two most revolutionary events in the history of English alternative music and thinking. The IT event was important because it marked the first recognition of a rapidly spreading socio-cultural revolution that had its parallel in the States" by Daevid Allen of Soft Machine.[2]
A Benefit gig "The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream" was also organised by IT and held on April 28 1967 at the Alexandra Palace ("Ally Pally") in London which demonstrated the importance of the quickly developing UK Underground scene. Although "underground" venues such as the UFO Club and the Middle Earth Club were hosting counterculture bands this was certainly the biggest indoor event by that time and probably after. Bands who appeared included Pink Floyd, The Pretty Things, Savoy Brown, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Soft Machine, The Move and Sam Gopal Dream (featuring a young Lemmy of Hawkwind/Motörhead fame/notoriety).
Many people who are now prominent UK figures wrote for IT, including such luminaries as the feminist critic Germaine Greer, poet and social commentator Jeff Nuttall, and the DJ John Peel. There were many original contributions from underground writers such as Alexander Trocchi; William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. Leading editorial contributors to the late 1970s IT were Heathcote Williams, Max Handley, Mike Lesser, Eddie Woods (Amsterdam editor), and Chris Sanders.
In 1986 IT was passed on to performer Tony Allen and writer Chris Brook.
From those first issues published in the 1960s it was printed throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. It was relaunched in 1986. There have been a total of 205 issues. It was contemporary to the other radical underground London magazine, Oz, and later Friends (renamed "Frendz") and Ink; many people who wrote for one also wrote for the others.

Barry Miles and International Times: 'The invisible insurrection of a million minds'
By Alex Watson, April 23, 2007.
Last week I went to a panel discussion on magazines; although I took notes on all three speakers, I ended up with loads from the talk by Barry Miles, co-founder of 60s underground paper International Times (Wikipedia). He talked at length about I.T.'s genesis, launch party and development, which I found fascinating. Here are my full notes. Bear in mind these notes were scribbled at pace, so apologies for any errors/omissions.
On the genesis of I.T.:
"We put on a poetry reading at the Albert Hall in 1965. It cost £400 to hire, then another £100 an hour. And bear I mind, I earned £10 a week at this time, and we had only 9 days to publicise it. But we sold the tickets and it went ahead, and we saw that we, youth culture, were a real constituency. It's very, very difficult now to imagine how straight England was, even in the mid 60s. It was a very black and white world then."
On I.T. being totally counter to Fleet street and established media:
"The idea of anyone from our community writing for the Guardian or the Times was inconceivable. None of the papers had any popular music coverage in those days. Our group of people needed somewhere to express themselves, so in early 1966, Hoppy (John Hopkins) and I started to put it together. We got the guy who'd been editor of Peace Times for CND, to help, too. He'd gotten freaked out and left London and gone to live in the countryside, but we got him to come back."
On I.T.'s launch:
"We had the launch party at the Roundhouse in Camden. It had been used for storing gin, and had been abandoned for seventeen years. It was just a big space with a balcony that was apparently unsafe. But it was ideal for IT. Soft Machine and The Pink Floyd played. I remember paying them - Pink Floyd got £15 because they had a light show, and Soft Machine got £12. Although they had a motorcycle on stage, so maybe that was a bit unfair."
On how I.T. was written and distributed:
"I.T. wasn't properly edited. It depended a lot on people bringing stuff in. It was the same with distribution - anyone could come in a grab 50 copies, and we just trusted them to bring the money back, and then they could get some more copies. By 1969, I.T.'s height, we were printing about 44,000 copies, and it was going out every two weeks or so, unless we'd been busted or something."
How I.T. got into advertising and staved off financial collapse:
"The first few issues had a lot of serious articles by William Burroughs about the overthrow of the state. He used it as his platform to work out his ideas. And there was Ginsberg too. All the usual suspects. When we were running out of money, I was talking to Paul McCartney about it, and he said, 'Well, you should interview me, then you'll get ads from the record companies.' And I thought, 'hey, he might be on to something.' So I interviewed him, and then George Harrison, and then the next week Mick Jagger called up, demanding to be interviewed too. And Paul was right, we got ads from the record companies."
On I.T. and the community:
"We'd have these happenings on Tottenham Court Road. Lots of people would come down - The Beatles, Pete Townshend. He'd pay £20 or something on the door, becuase he knew it was going to I.T. It was a community paper, our community's paper, so people put into it. I.T. was outside normal society in every respect."
