The Woodstock Issue: Rolling Stone No. 42 (September 20, 1969)

This is the famous Woodstock issue of Rolling Stone, cover-dated September 20, 1969. The front cover bears Baron Wolman's photograph of festival attendees swimming in the lake at Bethel, and the masthead page opens the landmark cover story "It Was Like Balling for the First Time," Rolling Stone's account of the three-day festival on Max Yasgur's farm that drew half a million people.

An inside page carries a vintage subscription advertisement for Otis Redding's "Love Man" album ("Free... OTIS... Free"), with the printed offer expiring October 25, 1969.
