Description

Very rare London Evening News newspaper street vending sheet from early September 1978, 17.25 x 28.75, covering the circumstances of the death of The Who's legendary drummer: "Keith Moon Drugs Mystery." This single sheet was originally produced to be placed on a wooden A-frame display behind a criss-cross metal guard on street corners in London where vendors sold copies of their daily or evening newspapers. The sheets were changed and thrown away daily as new editions, bearing new headlines, came out. The disposable nature of these advertising sheets makes them quite scarce today. In good condition, with tears, paper loss, old tape stains, and splitting along the very fragile intersecting folds.
