Here are two old album ads, I don't know what magazines they're from. Most likely CREEM or CIRCUS. When the "Black and Blue" ad was used on a billboard on Sunset Boulevard with the words "I'm Black and Blue from The Rolling Stones - and I love it", the organization "Women Against Violence Against Women" picketed and held a press conference. They called it "a perpetuation of the myth that women like to be brutalized", and Atlantic Records whitewashed the billboard. "Sucking In The Seventies" is a case where the ad looks much better than the actual album cover. I'll be delving into some of those '70s and '80s mags from time to time. Lots of fun stuff there. More to come.
