Page 53 has a nice full page advertisement for a upcoming "STYX" concerts at the Palladium nightclub in Manhattan. This particular ad has a "ALL SHOWS SOLD OUT" stamp which covers the illustration of the ad.
Note: The Styx "Grand Illusion" tour in 1978 was a significant part of the band's rise to fame following the release of their album "The Grand Illusion" in 1977. The tour covered various locations in the United States and Europe, and featured a mix of opening acts and setlists that included popular songs from the album.
The back page has a full page advertisement for the release of the VILLAGE PEOPLE'S new album "Macho Man". (see images)
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 96 pages, tabloid-size, folded at the center, nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
