So interesting report!
So interesting to see this, with illuminating details of what happened! I was a part of this, even from a discance, living in Denmark but visiting from time to time. But I see very well the difficulty of finding citations to describe this process, as should happen in a dictionary. Maybe someone could peruse the magazine and find some hints? And make closer ties between the text and the bibliography already included? This is too important to be thrown into the bin...

In addition to the idea mentioned above, I have pasted two entries from my bibliography (at www.intuitivemusic.dk/bib/ ) that seem relevant.

Bell, Clive (ed.): LMC...the first 25 years. Resonance 8:2 + 9:1 (double issue, with double CD), special issue on London Musicians' Collective, 2000.

LMC has arranged several thousands of concerts, published reviews and involved the greater part of those musicians performing improvised music in London - being the largest grouping of its kind. In this issue, so many and so varied contributions to describing it is given that it hints at an outline of its historic development, through the "Gloucester Avenue"-period 1977-1988, the "intermediary period" before 1992, and finally the times thereafter in which a reorganisation took place and large arrangements were set up.

Clive Bell: "A brief history of the LMC" traces the development from the start till the precursor "Musicians' Cooperative" (fra 1971, connected to Little Theatre Club). LMC's own venue inspired to many concerts, even though it was primitive and never got a toilet installed. 1975-80 the magazine Musics was published (see G1.2), in addition to this for an extended period of time also a newsletter (see Anonymous (1981;G2.1), and during 1977 and the next ten years an average of 200 concerts a year were arranged. When the rent contract was terminated in 1988, concerts were scattered around the city. In 1992, administrators Ed Baxter and Phil England were employed and an office was established. A more formal organisation structure was introduced. In the same year, the magazine Resonance started, and also at this year marked concert events with many young musicians participating took place, finally being covered by the media. One of those were the first of the yearly festivals with international guests.

David Toop: The Rag Tag Army: deals among other things with the colourful varity of members and reflects on the absence of media interest in earlier days.

Richard Scott: "Like birds or physichs or thinking": about the period 1988-92, in which Scott was the administrator.

Paul Burwell: "Platonic Ideals": on the start of LMCs and its democratic idea.

Steve Beresford/Peter Cusack: Youthful vigour: on the historical context at the start of LMC. Positive and negative evaluative remarks about the current form of organisation.

Richard Sanderson: And then there's the music: among other things, reply to those who critisize that the new LMC has not given high priority to a daily venue.

Maggie Nicols: In our different rhythms together: deals among other things with the open, weekly improvisation workshop The Gathering which still exists at the time of writing this (2002) and which originated as a counter-initiative to the prestige concert event "Fiume" in 1992.

Also more articles by members. Among oher places in the enquete "My favourite LMC moment" many personal, humoristic, informative glimpses from concert events through the times are given. =========================================================== g2.1/ Oswald, John: "To be discussed, an interview with Peter Cusack", Musicworks 10, winter, 1980.
