A well-preserved item. $450. * Up Against the Law was a leftist British periodical focused on popular education in legal rights and the documentation of abuses of the law by police. Several members of the Collective had been involved in other leftist action groups with a legal orientation, such as the Stoke Newington 8 Defence Group. The magazine was issued at sporadic intervals from 1972 to 1975. (OCLC locates copies of this magazine in 13 libraries, 4 in North America: Library of Congress, Emory, Harvard, University of Michigan). This apparently unrecorded poster advertises a benefit concert to raise funds for the group, held at the North Western Polytechnic building in North London. The building was a hub for student protests and events. See Noyce, The Directory of British Alternative Periodicals 1965-1974 1161.
