AUCTION - Woodstock - East Village Other 1969 - New York Underground Newspaper - Excellent
This is Volume Four, Issue Number 37 of the New York underground newspaper, the East Village Other. This is the Woodstock issue and it came out in August 1969, mere days before the festival. Wild front cover in color, as well as a really cool full-color ad on the back cover for Douglas Recording Studio. The color centerfold features a bunch of great photos of performers-to-be at Woodstock and a lengthy article, which is worth the final purchase price by itself, for sure. We are treated to a very rosy picture of what the Woodstock Aquarian Festival will turn out like. There is a staggering difference between the anticipated event and what actually happened. The newspaper has loads more cool stuff in it, like a full-page comic by artist Spain, a very cool driving by Kim Deitch, and lots of ads from 1969, like one for the Fillmore East (CSNY is coming!) And one for Woodstock it's self. Very engaging stuff. This East Village Other newspaper measures 11 1/2" x 15". In Excellent condition, with some tears on the edges of some pages, due to handling, and a couple of light stains. Looks really nice.
