Here's a real oldie - the May 1972 issue of HIT PARADER. This was before LISA ROBINSON came along and overhauled the mag to try to make it more appealing to the "counter-culture".
There's a great shot of MICK with a guitar on the cover. This issue features a ROLLING STONES "Portrait Gallery", where we learn that the Stones plan "to tour in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya". There are also stories on TOMMY JAMES ("Politics and Pills"), PAUL MCCARTNEY, BILL WITHERS, and more.
"Words To Your Favorite Hits" includes two PETE HAM songs - "Day After Day (as recorded by Badfinger)", and "Without You (as recorded by Nilsson)". Also in there is "Levon (as recorded by Elton John)".
In "Albums In Review" we get brief reviews of DYLAN's "Greatest Hits Volume Two", BOWIE's "Hunky Dory", and "The Best of Sonny and Cher". In a "Readers' Reviews" review of LENNON's "Imagine" LP, we're told that "John's singing hasn't sounded better since he sang "Mr. Moonlight" on "Beatles '65"!
Not bad for 50 cents!
