Frankfurt a. M.: Expanded Media, 1971-1972 . Folio, quarto, and duodecimo (42.5 × 30, 29.6 × 21, and 11.3 × 8 cm). Original pictorial self-wrappers and the special issue an audio cassette in the original printed, two-piece cardboard case; 15, [1]; [40] pp. with numerous illustrations. No. 1: Margins with slight signs of wear and tiny tears; vertical crease throughout; else very good; the other two numbers fine. Complete run in three issues of the rare underground literary journal, which was based on the American cut-up underground periodicals of the Beat generation from the late 1950s. "UFO" made numerous texts by the beat generation available in German for the first time. The cut-up technique made use of existing newspaper texts, which were cut up and rearranged in an arbitrary way to create a completely new text with absurd constellations of meaning. "Invented" more by chance by representatives of the Beat Generation in a larger group, Burroughs developed this process into a method, which also included films and tapes. Accordingly, No. 3 with the title "RADIO 23" was also published as a tape cassette. It is said to contain a recording of the program broadcast on the night of March 1, 1972, by the Munich pirate radio station Radio 23. But it was not only texts by William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Harold Norse and Carl Weissner that were printed. The first issue also included, for example, a text by the Situationists entitled "Cyborg" on the effects of technical innovations in the media world on society. The translation of excerpts from the text "The Videosphere", in which the video art pioneer Gene Youngblood prophesies the internet and automatized translation (AI), also goes in a similar direction. An interview with Buckminster Fuller and reflections on a "video guerrilla" are also translated into German for the first time. One of the most prominent contributors was the German writer and journalist Jörg Fauser, who caused a number of scandals with his oft-expressed preference for American "beat" and "cut up" literature and his simultaneously oft-repeated contempt for the West German high culture and the literary establishment. In his best-known novel "Rohstoff" (Raw Material), the context of "UFO" and "Gasoline 23" includes the following: "I was the only one who had never been to America, I was not at all keen on America, one could hardly be, if one took the American books I read seriously. But that wasn't the point, what bothered us was this German porridge, this sticky sauce that they served with their cultural products (.). It made us sick (.), the bantering and slobbering at tables still bent under bowls full of dead theories and aesthetics, and then the vomiting in the feuilleton and the bloodstains all the way to the high-security wings." (Transl. from Jörg Fauser, Rohstoff, Zurich 2004, first published in 1984, p. 248f.) As of February 2026, KVK, OCLC show only one complete run in North America, and only two other libraries in North America with single issues. …
