Often revered as the undisputed "bible" of Hollywood, the Sunday Calendar section occupied a rare space in journalism where a single publication could simultaneously dictate global entertainment trends and govern the inner workings of show business. Today, physical copies are an absolute rarity, largely because they were printed on standard, ephemeral newsprint designed to be devoured and promptly discarded at the end of the week.
Page 59 has a piece by Jonathan Gold on the iconic heavy metal band "Metallica" with heading: "Advisory to Metallica Fans: It's a Pop Band Now" regarding their new album that was released the very next day from the date of this issue. (see images)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete Calendar section only with all 92 pages, tabloid size, great condition.

Background: Published on August 11, 1991—just one day prior to the August 12 release of Metallica’s self-titled fifth record, universally known as "The Black Album"—Jonathan Gold’s Los Angeles Times Calendar piece captured a monumental watershed moment in rock history. Recounting the band's dramatic sonic pivot away from the intricate, high-speed thrash metal of 1988’s ...And Justice for All under the guidance of producer Bob Rock, Gold recognized that Metallica was embracing mainstream pop sensibilities through shorter, heavier, and far more accessible songwriting on tracks like "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters." This shift sparked fierce debate among purist fans who accused the band of selling out, prompting Gold to famously liken the cultural anxiety surrounding Metallica's new direction to Bob Dylan going electric in 1965. Ultimately, the article documented the precise inflection point where Metallica bridged the gap between underground heavy metal and global pop-culture dominance, laying the groundwork for an era that saw The Black Album sell over 16 million copies in the United States alone and redefine hard rock for a generation.
