Illus. self-wrpps, small loss to corner of wrpps. on supplemental issue. Paris 1970-1973.

International in scope, Le Parapluie was a member of the Underground Press Syndicate network, with notable contributions by artists and authors such as Dominique Tarlé, Jean-Louis Brau, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and Andy Warhol, and reviews or articles on music festivals and groups including the Isle of Wight, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Roxy Music, The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, The Who, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, The Yardbirds, David Bowie, and Sun Ra among others.
