A complete, digital re-creation of the legendary psychedelic underground
newspaper originally published in the Haight Ashbury during the Summer
of Love
Edited by Allen Cohen
The
San Francisco Oracle, published in the Haight Ashbury from 1966 to 1968,
was one of the most unique and beautiful publications of the '60s. It
is remembered for its extraordinary graphic design by major San Francisco
artists, its rainbow colors and the cultural explorations and breakthroughs
in its articles, interviews and poetry.
This CDROM contains each and every page of all 12 issues printed –
in all their original brilliance – which can be viewed on your
computer and can be printed on your desktop printer. In addition, on
a DVD, is a half hour interview with Allen Cohen, the original editor
and founder of The Oracle, as well as the video Oracle Rising by Claire
Burch, about the Haight Ashbury and the creation of The Oracle newspaper.
“If the New Age Movement is a religion, these idealistic explorations
into the personal experience and social implications of ‘mind
expansion’ are part of its cannon. From the Aquarian Age to Native
American shamanism, Eastern mysticism, communal living, utopian revolution,
sexual liberation, ecological awareness and the socio-spiritual implications
of LSD, The Oracle provides source documents of an eclectic spirituality
and social philosophy that continue to exert a widespread – albeit
subtle – influence on American society.”
- The San Francisco Chronicle
“The Fantastic graphics of The Oracle, many wrapped around
pages or double spreads of text, were mostly printed in black and white,
but many glowed in deep reds, fuchsias, blues, oranges and yellows produced
in a printing process now extinct. Regent Press has brought them back
to life through what must have been maddeningly laborious handwork on
the press; here indeed is the old Oracle in all its opulence. Open any
page and you are back on the streets of the Haight Ashbury in as time
when that tiny urban spot was the Olympus of the newborn world.”
- The New York Times Sunday Book Review
