NEVER BEEN. THIS BEING

THE SHORT STORY OF EARTH MAGAZINE. TEN ISSUES OF A PREVIOUSLY UNEXPLORED AMAZINE. PUBLISHED BY THE EDITOR OF PLAYBOY IN 1970,

IT LASTED ALL OF A YEAR.

AND, MEANWHILE, EARTH,

THE PLANET, STRUGGLED ON (AS WE ARE ALL TOO

PAINFULLY AWARE).

From the ground up. Earth No.1. December 1970. There are fourteen perfect pages from the Isle of Wight Festival in this issue. Photographed by David Hurn and Jim Marshall. And then Iggy Pop, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Earth was independently published out of San Francisco, but it had clout. Founder and editor, James Goode, edited Playboy. He invented the Playboy Interview (his unpublished James Baldwin interview is here). 



June 1971. This issue is so extraordinarily good. The 'Jesus Freaks' photo-essay is amazing, as is the Vietnam story and the Paolo Soleri architecture feature. It is all too good really.
 

But it gets better. Two improbable fashion shoots; Clothes for People With Dogs... (see above and the cover)
 

And... Clothes for People Without Dogs!!! 
 

The man in the striped shirt is a Jesus Freak. 
 

Eighteen-page photo feature on the legend that was The Cockettes in the October 1971 issue. 
 

Mati Klarwein cover of May 1971 and inside...



Super impressive Mati Klarwein fold out poster. 



Just the most beautiful cover. September 1971. 

They really are quite wonderful. And ever so scarce. There is one we can't find - not even a picture or a record of it. It may not exsist. But these issues do. Ten of them from 1970-1971 and then gone. One chance to own them on the button below.
