Description

These issues come from Rolling Stone’s San Francisco period, when the magazine was still closely aligned with the musicians and movements it covered. Sub-100 issues remain among the most desirable for collectors, and this group offers a strong snapshot of mid-1971—bridging rock, roots, and emerging singer-songwriter culture. The Keith Richards cover and interview anchors the lot, with Jethro Tull and Sir Douglas adding depth across genres.

These function as true pop culture time capsules. Interior advertisements capture major musical moments as they happened, including Joni Mitchell’s Blue and Elton John’s early live recordings. Alongside editorial content—interviews, reviews, and cultural reporting—the design and typography throughout make these issues visually compelling artifacts, with many pages suitable for display.

Early Rolling Stone issues under #100 continue to become harder to source, particularly in grouped lots. This is a well-rounded set with strong musical representation and standout interior material.
