Other titles include William Burroughs, JG Ballard, Angry Women, Modern Primitives, Zines 1 & 2, Pranks, Incredibly Strange Films, & Incredibly Strange Music 1 & 2. Extremely rare to find all of these in one lot.

SynopsisA prank is a "trick, a mischievous act, a ludicrous act." Pranksters such as Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, Monte Cazazza, Jello Biafra, Earth First!, Joe Coleman, Karen Finley, John Waters, Henry Rollins and others challenge the sovereign authority of words, images and behavioral convention. "Pranks!" inspired the genre of prank recordings, prank TV, and will delight all lovers of humor, satire and irony., A prank is a trick, a mischievous act, and a ludicrous act. Although not regarded as poetic or artistic acts, pranks constitute an art form and genre. Here, pranksters such as Mark Pauline, Monte Cazazza, Jello Biafra, Joe Coleman, Karen Finley, Henry Rollins, John Waters and Henry Rollins challenge the sovereign authority of words, images and behavioral convention. Some tales are bizarre, as when Boyd Rice presented the First Lady with a skinned sheep's head on a platter. This iconoclastic compendium will dazzle and delight all lovers of humor, satire and irony. A great quotations section is also included.
