Description
THE WHO – NEWSPAPER ARTICLES
Listed below is an extensive collection of items taken from the music press, magazines and national and local newspapers. The collection is in good condition and ranges from the early 1970’s to the early 1980’s. Items include photos, reviews and adverts for gigs, tours and records, including solo projects by individual band members, interviews with band members and reports and news of band activities on and off the stage.
For anyone with the time and interest, the date and source for un-attributed articles can generally be worked out by the name of the journalist and the other articles / adverts which appear on the pages.
I have only shown a small number of items in my photographs as it is impractical to show every single item.
