Is this actually issue two…

Is this actually issue two or, as it says at the very end, a supplement to KME (no2) Nov 1968?
Is it King Mob 2: Letters on Student Power or King Mob: Two Letters on Student Power.
I MUST KNOW!!!

Hello cdde Splits - I've…

Hello cdde Splits - I've based this on comments here:
https://situationnisteblog.wordpress.com/2016/04/18/king-mob-1-6-1968-70/

Which seems quite knowledgeable. I don't really have a clue myself - the bit at the end about the supplement threw me as well. Maybe leave a comment over there and report back? :-)

Also the Tom Vague anthology…

Also the Tom Vague anthology doesn't have a different issue 2. https://libcom.org/article/king-mob-echo-english-section-situationist-international

It's a good question. I guess the options are:
1. This is a supplement to King Mob Echo (i.e. #1 published several months earlier)
2. This is issue 2 (and the supplement reference is a red herring)
3. This is part of issue 2 (a supplement to it) but there is no trace of the rest of it.
4. This is just an unnumbered King Mob publication called "Two Letters on Student Power".
