[spectre] Death of an Anarchist poet

Wed Jan 26 20:42:41 CET 2011

Dear Seamas and list

Thanks for informing us.

FWIW

I am working on a special on his works to be broadcasted in my Radio  
Program Burgerwaanzin @ Radio Patapoe Amsterdam NL, the last surviving  
Free Radio from Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I am looking for links to obtain his live readings to broadcast them  
along with others reading his poetry

Specifically I am looking to recordings of his infamous pieces for 6  
tape recorders, other recorded material of his works is welcome as well.

If anyone on this list can be of help in locating and obtaining this  
material, please do not hesitate to contact me

Best
