AI notes: In 1981, Tina Turner performed a series of concerts at The Ritz in New York City. These intimate performances highlighted her powerful stage presence and featured a mix of rock, R&B covers, and original songs. The Ritz concerts played a key role in revitalizing her solo career, paving the way for her major comeback with the Private Dancer album in 1984.
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 152 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
