ROLLING STONE
Issue no. 95 November 11, 1971
Nice condition – no labels
Excellent 4th anniversary issue of Rolling Stone, with
the historic first-ever publication of part one of
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas penned by the fabulous
Hunter Thompson (writing as ‘Raoul Duke’).
With plenty of eyepopping illustrations by Ralph Steadman,
who also signed the amazing cover art for this issue.
Other main pieces include part II of Tom Nolan’s much-acclaimed
book-length article The Beach Boys: A California Saga,
as well as stories on Sly Stone, Leon Russell, Federico Fellini,
French rocker Johnny Hallyday and more.
Over twenty albums are reviewed, including new
releases from Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, and The Band.
Please note that this is the rare UK edition of the magazine,
and not the American edition.
The two editions came out simultaneously and had
identical content, but different advertising.
The issue runs to 48 oversized pages and its back
cover is a wonderful promotional ad for
Alice Cooper’s first-ever show in the UK, at the
Rainbow Theatre in London on November 7th 1971.
This is the complete issue, fully intact, nothing missing.
It has been carefully stored, and is in
truly nice good condition for a 47-year old tabloid-size paper.
There are some nicks and marks at the edges,
and one minor tear inside. The pages are
starting to yellow with age, but they are all clean, clear
and truly a pleasure to read.
The photos above are scans of the actual item on offer.
Will be carefully shipped with a light fold in the middle, the way it
looked on newstands when it first appeared.
Super item, hard to find in such nice condition.
