Page 67 has a nice advertisement for the opening day premiere of the film "COLORS" (see images)
Page 93 has a 6 1/2 x 5 inch ad for a concert performance by "GUNS N' ROSES" at the Felt Forum inside Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. This is pretty early for this iconic group.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their 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 in 168 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
