Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre.
Included within this handsome limited signed hardcover book are TOPY's apocryphal scriptures, interviews, and material from the cult's mentors, William S. Burroughs Jr. and Brion Gysin.
Also included is a DVD with experimental footage from the late and revered director Derek Jarman, shot specifically for TOPY.
