Klactoveedsedsteen Records, 1965-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145405965

Creative works, correspondence, production material, and advertisement flyers document the publishing of the magazine Klactoveedsedsteen and editor Carl Weissner's relationships with a community of writers around the world. Materials span four issues of the magazine. Issue 2 is not represented. The bulk of the material consists of manuscripts submitted to Weissner for publication, but roughly half of these manuscripts were never published in Klacto. Manuscripts represent the work of Carol Bergé, Doug Blazek, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Diane Di Prima, Larry Eigner, Allen Ginsberg, Dick Higgins, Gerard Malanga, Harold Norse, and several others. Letters from these writers commenting upon their work and the magazine are also included, several of which appeared in Klacto. A complete index of correspondents and works appears in the finding aid. Layout and production materials exist for two issues: pasteups and printing negatives for the cover and several pages of Issue 1; and pasteups and some original artwork that appeared in Issue 23 (5).
