Page 115 has a advertisement for early "Elton John" concerts at Madison Square Garden. (see images) This was one of his first concert tours. John Lennon surprised fans by joining Elton John onstage at the November 28 performance. This was Lennon's last major concert appearance.
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 128 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small red library stamp on the front page, a little martin wear, a few ink notations and minor wear to the front page, generally in good 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.
