World Countdown
USARare West Coast music paper (29 issues, each tabloid-size), which initially billed itself as "The First Worldwide Big Beat Newspaper", by the end simply as "This Earth's Leading Newspaper", a description which belies its relative obscurity, then as now. Accurate collation is tricky as the first few are unnumbered and all but the last in the sequence are undated. Publication was initially monthly, later fortnightly, with distribution via newsstands throughout Los Angeles (most notably the World News & Book Store at 1660 Cahuenga) and in San Francisco (the Psychedelic Shop on Haight St.).

I was born in Baltimore December 21, 1940. Then lived in country for a while... Then moved back into the city. That didn't last very long. Then moved back to the country and my father made poison gas for the government during World

I would like to mention if you ever get a chance to see the group in your town, at a college, night club, concert, or whatever, do so, their act will blow your minds, such choreography has been absent among youth all too long, and I’m glad to see it returning ...
