Page 33 has a 6 x 3 1/2 inch advertisement for "CREAM" for there upcoming appearance at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. This was part of the Goodbye Tour and one of the very last concerts for this famed band.
source: Steve Hoffman music forums: Clapton: "I remember one show at the Philadelphia Spectrum...and I was playing the Gibson Firebird...and it was one of our greatest gigs ever. I was flying; no confusion, no indecision about when to stop, start, come in, go out; I wasn't tired, I seemed to get more elevated through the evening, one of my greatest gigs ever." The view is seconded by Jack Bruce, who later tells Tony Bacon: "The Spectrum is one of the very best gigs in America, if not the best. Philadelphia is a great rock music town. I've played that a few times, and it's always been great. A rocking gig; great audience."
Page 35 has a full page advertisement for David Peel's "Have a Marijuana" debut album. (see images)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
