LOS ANGELES TIMES, Aug. 18, 1985 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf) featuring a collectible print advertisement for a upcoming live performance by "WHAM!" with George Michael at Hollywood Park Racetrack on one of the four pages.

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.

Experience music history in the making with authentic, original newspaper advertisements capturing the opening-night premieres of legendary live concert performances, sourced straight from the entertainment capital of the world.

Background: The Wham! concert on August 30, 1985, at Hollywood Park Racetrack holds exceptional historical and collector significance as a peak moment of mid-1980s pop culture, standing out both for its sheer scale as a massive outdoor stadium highlight of the Whamamerica! tour—featuring high-profile support from Chaka Khan and Katrina and the Waves—and for its subsequent rarity in official distribution. While heavily documented through contemporary news coverage, fan photographs, and local radio broadcasts, official professional soundboard audio or pro-shot multi-camera video from this specific Inglewood date was never commercially released, making high-quality bootleg recordings and original tour ephemera—such as ticket stubs, venue posters, and local promotional items—highly sought-after rarities among George Michael archivists and pop music collectors.
