Vintage Complete 1960 Billboard - Raiders Review (First Ever) Beatnick Sticks/Orbit - Personally Autographed to YOU by Mark
This original COMPLETE 8/1/60 issue of "The Billboard" (as it was called then) was given to Mark Lindsay 30+ years ago by the Raiders' original lead guitar player, Bob "Mooney" White. Bob marked the page with the review with an X and circled the review. The magazine is 63 years old, and features the first-ever national review of the Raiders' first single - Beatnick Sticks / Orbit (The Spy).
The newspaper measures 15-1/2" x 11" and has 95 pages. Please note that the first few and last pages have torn edges due to its age, but the interior pages are much better, although fragile. At that time Billboard covered records, jukeboxes, fairs, carnivals, circuses and was mainly a magazine for the trade. The want ads are great - you could buy a cobra for your act for $35!
Mark will PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPH the review page to the name of your choice.
