RARE 1972 Changes publication - NY Film Festival

This is a rare newspaper tabloid called CHANGES, dated October 1972.  The format is similar to ROLLING STONE magazine, covering the pop culture of the times- music, movies, politics, and other topics of the day.   As this is a 36 year old newspaper, it's not really in the best of shape.  There's some yellow edges, some brittle corners, and 5 of the double-sided pages have major rips.  That being said, it looks like it's fully intact, without any missing pieces or extra markings from pen or pencil.   Folded for distribution, it measures 9" x 12".  Unfolded for reading, it's approximately 17" x 22."

The big topic of this issue is the NY FILM FESTIVAL.  Marlon Brando is on the cover, and there's an interview with Richard Roud, the founder of this New York institution, who created this in 1963.

David Bowie is the subject of a 2 page interview by Lenny Kaye, future founder of Nuggets, and guitar player for Patti Smith Band.

Lester Bangs reviews Kim Fowley's album entitled "I'm Bad," sandwiched between reviews for Sweet Pie and Labelle.

"Fanny- Sexism in Rock?" is an article by Laurel Dann.

One of my favorite parts of this issue is the section titled "New York: The Scene Makers," which is all about who saw who.  Monty Python's Flying Circus gets mentions, as does Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, New York Dolls, Todd Rundgren, Richard Metlzer, Al Kooper, and folks at Max's Kansas City.  Here's a scan from that section that includes a photo of a lovely lady named Jerry Miller, who was NOT a member of Moby Grape.   Yes, I did censor her naked nipple.  If you buy the paper,  you'll be able see it.
