Magazine of the Week #12

Another issue of CREEM??? Get used to it, there are still a few more to come! This one's the January 1978 issue.

The cover story is "Jagger Jaw Session" by BARBARA CHARONE. JAGGER discusses the new "Punk" scene, "Love You Live", KEITH's pending legal issues, and MINK DEVILLE, among other fascinating subjects.

Lots of interesting stuff throughout the magazine: full-page ads for CLAPTON's "Slowhand" ("His new album is here!"), THE BEATLES' "Love Songs" ("Now in one fabulous gift album!"), SEX PISTOLS, THE JAM, THE RAMONES, ALICE COOPER, ELVIS COSTELLO's "My Aim Is True", and ROD STEWART's "Foot Loose and Fancy Free".

In "The Christgau Consumer Guide", critic ROBERT CHRISTGAU gives "Love You Live" a C+, PETE TOWNSHEND and RONNIE LANE's "Rough Mix" a B+, and "TALKING HEADS '77" an A-.

There's a piece on the LYNYRD SKYNYRD plane crash, and photos of LIONEL RITCHIE with a serious Afro. Also, STEVE MARTIN, ELVIN BISHOP, and BLUE OYSTER CULT.








And "The Creem Dreem" is LINDA RONSTADT, in a Cub Scout uniform!
