An original Melody Maker newspaper, August 11, 1979 — from the personal collection of Donnie “DK” Kretzschmar.
Bob Marley on the cover. Inside on page 19 — a review of Led Zeppelin’s In Through the Out Door, released that same month. Two of the biggest names in music history, captured in a single issue of Britain’s most iconic music weekly at the peak of both their powers.
A remarkable time capsule from August 1979 — the same summer SHOWCO was deep in the thick of it on the road.
