Page 92 has a 7 x 5 1/2 inch advertisement for an upcoming "Black Sabbath" concert at Madison Square Garden (Dec. 3)
Background: Black Sabbath’s legendary concert at Madison Square Garden on December 3, 1975, stands out as a high-water mark of their mid-decade touring era, serving a dual purpose as both a celebration of their monumental sixth studio album, Sabotage, and Ozzy Osbourne's 27th birthday—complete with a festive cake brought out by a devil-costumed mascot. Sharing the stage with powerhouse openers Aerosmith right as both bands were cementing heavy rock royalty status, the raucous double-bill delivered a quintessential 1970s arena-rock spectacle defined by volatile Garden crowd energy. Fueled by ferocious live renditions of new heavy-hitters like Symptom of the Universe alongside immortal anthems like War Pigs and Iron Man, the performance perfectly captured the unbridled theatricality, raw intensity, and cultural peak of Sabbath's original lineup
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete with 144, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
