In the 1970's Rolling Stone Magazine had the first 210 newsstand issues bound by San Francisco's Cardoza-James Bindery in a very small print runs - 22 volumes, all hard covered.

Each volume measures 11 1/4" X 16 3/4" and contains 1000+ pages of amazing articles, album reviews, photographs and album advertisements from the most iconic bands, writers and photographers.
PLEASE NOTE: This volume is new-old-stock still in its original shipping box. The paper tape sealing the boxes has split, loosened, or torn over the years and the boxes have some bumps, bruises, and tears. The box containing your volume will NOT look like the neatly-sealed box in the photo. T he hardcover volumes themselves are in very-good condition, but the covers may exhibit a stubbed corner or a slightly dented spine or may be imperfect in other ways. After all, these are 48-year-old books and although they are still in their original shipping boxes, those boxes have endured some jostling over the years. If you can overlook these slight defects, these volumes are beautiful. Interior page color is clean and each volume includes all the original inserts. Each volume will be securely double-boxed. Volume 13 in this iconic hardcover publication run (17 volumes, 210 issues) includes the July 4, 1974 Carpenters issue which contains a full page ticket ad (page 55) for the infamous Ozark Music Festival. Held July 19, 20, and 21, 1974 in Sedalia, MO., this "Sodom and Gemorrah in Sedalia" was three days of drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll in a land of jam judging, tractor pulls, and 4-H lambs. The three-day event was emceed by Wolfman Jack and featured the likes of Bachman Turner Overdrive, the Eagles, Blue Oyster Cult, America, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Walsh, Marshall Tucker Band, Aerosmith, Earl Scruggs, Cactus and other national acts. Some estimates have put the crowd count at 350,000 people. “The Ozark Music Festival can only be described as a disaster,” a Missouri Senate report concluded in October 1974. “The scene made the degradation of Sodom and Gomorrah appear mild. Natural and unnatural sex acts became a spectator sport.”
The July 4, 1974 Carpenters issue also features "Jane Fonda's Vietnam Journal," detailing her second visit to North Vietnam, a two-week journey through the Democratic Republic of Vietnam accompanied by her then husband Tom Hayden and director/cinematographer Haskel Wexler, who was filming a documentary of the journey.
Volume 13 also includes the first ever Kiss general public advertisement. After the release of their first album, Kiss had a couple music industry publication ads printed. The Rolling Stone ad contained in volume 13 was the first nationally published ad directed toward a general consumer audience!
