January, 1975. 8 1/2" x 11 3/4". 16pp. Rare first issue of Dark Star Magazine, with interviews and articles on The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, John Cipollina; record reviews include artists David Crosby, Neil Young and Linda Ronstadt. VERY GOOD. Absent marks or inscriptions; some foxing to the cover, which has modest top edge fraying, expected toning.
