AI notes: The July 25, 1977 issue of Village Voice featured a piece on Parliament-Funkadelic, detailing their elaborate stage performances. The article described the climax of their shows, where the entire 18-member ensemble would be on stage as a small flying saucer soared across the auditorium, disappearing behind a gigantic denim cap hanging on the stage. Smoke would then shoot out of the cap, a landing ramp would be pushed underneath it, and the Mothership would lower itself onto the ramp.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there 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 88 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across 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.
