Dealer Notes
Note: Nuspeak was published betwee 1973 and 1975 as a free publication by the Scottish Arts Council Art Centre. It was edited by Tom McGrath and the first edition began "This is the first edition of Nuspeak, an inter-personal information device. It is, as you see it, just a piece of paper with some words on it. But it is going to four thousand nine hundred and ninety nine other people by mail and is being circulated as a giveaway in different places. My name is Tom McGrath and I am setting up this scheme in conjunction with the Scottish Arts Council's new arts centre which will be opening in Glasgow late summer of this year with myself as director. If the arts centre hasn't opened by then, Nuspeak will tell you why." The content of Nuspeak was largely devoted to experimental art, progressive music & poetry. Rare.
