THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, June 13, 1989

* Club MTV Tour at the Meadowlands

Page 73 has a full page advertisement for a upcoming "CLUB MTV" performance at the Meadowlands Area in East Rutherford. (see images) 
AI notes: On July 23, 1989, the Club MTV Tour stopped at the Brendan Byrn e Arena (Meadowlands) in New Jersey. The event featured popular late-'80s artists like Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, Tone Lōc, Information Society, and Was (Not Was). Hosted by MTV VJ Downtown Julie Brown, the concert was a lively showcase of pop, hip-hop, and dance music, capturing the vibrant energy and style of the era.
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 with 156 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very 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.
