| From Christgau's Consumer Guide--he gave it a B+. |

 |
| It took me a while to notice that the site of Saturday Night Fever was also Club 802. |

| From an article about Linda McCartney by Blair Sabol. That's Mickey Dolenz in the middle, amirite? A couple of weeks later Nat Hentoff would cite this piece as an example of the decline in the paper's journalistic integrity--but I dunno, it sure entertained and informed the heck outta me. |

 |
| Finally, Paul Colby managed to snag some "name" talent! I'd pretty much given up on collecting their ads 'cause the performers were too obscure even for me. |
 |
| Kinda reminds me of the time WPIX switched to a "nothin' but love songs" format in the '80s, and the relentless claymation cupid TV ad campaign for it: "Your eX found someone new." |
