Currently Up for Auction on eBay: This vintage (circa 1973) Premier Drum Ad ran in all of the popular music magazines during the global Billion Dollar Babies tour featuring the original band called Alice Cooper. This Ad is signed personally by R&R Hall Of Fame inductee, drummer Neal Smith and is surely a very rare piece of Seventies Glam Rock History. The Auction runs through Monday December 9th, 2013.
As previously reported on Boing Boing, above you will find a ’70s-era print ad for Purina tinned Cat food featuring electronic music pioneer and glam rocker Brian Eno, and his cat, Eric.
Thanks to Evelyn Chote for the Image!
Update April 2, 2017: Apparently this Ad is Fake. Oh well, it’s still Hilarious!

Nick Gilder, one of the great unsung bubblegum glam rockers of the seventies, turns 59 today, having been born on December 21st, 1951. Here’s a clip of my favorite song by Nick, “You Really Rock Me,” accompanied by a collage of those cheesy Comment Cherry glitter graphics that anyone who was on MySpace back when it was hot shit will be sadly familiar with. Happy Birthday Nick! I hope you are still rocking!
Outtake From Cover Shoot for Queen II, 1973, By Mick Rock
Anyone who grew up in the 70s, loving bands like Queen and David Bowie, knows the legacy of photographer Mick Rock. Along with the equally phenomenal Bob Gruen, Rock is a photographer whose skilled eye captured images – fleeting moments in rock history – that were every bit as important to the times as the music being made by those he was shooting. It is not at all surprising that Mick Rock is also known as “The Man Who Shot the 70s.” Mick Rocks!
