Rolling Stone magazine issue # 47 November 29, 1969

Vintage issue # 47 of Rolling Stone magazine dated November 29, 1969 and featuring the classic cover portrait of Bob Dylan.

Besides the excellent feature length interview of Dylan, there is a fascinating story on Apple Record's finances and how it was brought back from near financial ruin by Allen Klein. The fifth Beatle, Brian Epstein, apparently had the lads enter into some really terrible royalty contracts.

There are also good reads on the Coasters, the Beatles film Let It Be, the Stones, Andy Warhol, the "Paul is Dead" rumours about Paul McCartney, the Diana Ross' split with the Supremes, the Byrds, Elvis, the Who, Johnny Cash, the death of author Jack Kerouac (written by legendary rock critic Lester Bangs) and the revival of Fifties rock 'n' roll. The column Random Notes is a fascinating time capsule which provides a glimpse of the events and perspectives of the time.
Album reviews are of Bob Dylan's discography. The film review is of Medium Cool by director Haskell Wexler.

There is also tons of vintage advertising and photos of our music and entertainment icons looking much younger.
