This original vintage newspaper leaf from the Los Angeles Times Calendar section dated Aug. 12, 1979 consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf) featuring a collectible editorial by Richard Meltzer on the rock band "KISS" with photo. (see images)
In addition to the feature concert ad, which captures the era's unique promotional graphic design and typography, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating cultural snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment. Printed on authentic aged newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal candidate for custom framing, local history display, or inclusion in a dedicated rock or pop culture memorabilia collection.

I suspect this item to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.

Background: Published in the Los Angeles Times on August 12, 1979, Richard Meltzer’s piece "Puckering Up For Kiss In 'Dynasty'" offers a scathing, irreverent critique of KISS at the height of their late-1970s commercial saturation, framing the band as a meticulously calculated, anti-artistic product of corporate music culture rather than a genuine rock-and-roll group. Writing in the wake of the release of Dynasty—an album marked by its controversial pivot into disco and slick radio pop—Meltzer examines the band's transition from menacing theatricality into a wholesome, sanitized spectacle consumed primarily by young children and suburban teens. He dissects the mechanics of their brand, noting how their identity had become entirely dependent on visual gimmicks, relentless merchandising, and lip-puckering stadium posturing, rendering the actual music almost secondary to the spectacle. With his signature iconoclastic style, Meltzer presents KISS as both the ultimate symbol of American consumerist excess and a symptom of rock music's total absorption into hollow corporate show business.
