A complete online archive of Heatwave, a London-based, situationist-influenced magazine that appeared in two editions in 1966.
Heatwaves 1 & 2 emerged in 1966. Heatwave 3, largely drafted, was never published though the front cover featured in Dancin’ in the Streets. Charles Radcliffe and Chris Gray joined L’Internationale Situationniste in October 1966 and for that reason it was never published.
Heatwave 1 & 2 were direct descendants of The Chicago Rebel Worker and came from the revolutionary ferment that surrounded us. Heatwave 1 was a more or less solo effort whereas Heatwave 2 was edited by Charles Radcliffe and Chris Gray. This magazine, though amateurish in appearance, was very influential.

I'm reading through the second volume of stuart christies autobiography and came across this passage about reading Heatwave in a Spanish prison.
"Heatwave, edited by Christopher Gray and Charles Radcliffe, was another stimulating duplicated magazine that arrived. The content and tone of these publications were light years away from the old-fashioned Freedom and Direct Action papers I had left behind two years earlier. They were amalgams of the best of the old anarcho-syndicalist ideas melded with those of the libertarian socialist Solidarity group, Dadaist and surrealist texts, together with a new social critique propagated by a group calling itself ‘Situationist’."

Oh that's an interesting find. And perhaps partly explains some of his friendships after being released...
