Carole King -
Cashbox
Four-Color Separation Ad Art and Cover Mock-up (1971).
Carole King established her legacy in the 1960s as one of the all-time greatest composers of Pop music, but she didn't realize great success as a recording artist until the 1970s, not until 1971's
Tapestry
made her an "overnight" sensation. The legendary music magazine
Cashbox
featured King on it's July 21, 1971 front cover, and included here is a 10" x 9" (image area) mock-up, plus a beautiful 12.5" x 17" four-color separation ad art.

Cashbox
(or
Cash Box
) magazine was a weekly publication devoted to the music and coin-operated machine industries in the USA which was published from July 1942, to November 16, 1996. It has since been revived as an online-only weekly that occasionally publishes special issues.
It was one of several magazines that published
charts
of song popularity in the United States of America.
Cashbox's
most prominent competitors included
Billboard
and
Record World
(known as
Music Vendor
prior to the April 18, 1964, issue). Unlike
Billboard
,
Cashbox
initially combined all currently available recordings of a song into one chart position with artist and label information shown for each version, alphabetized by label. Originally, no indication of which version was the biggest seller was given, but from October 25, 1952, a star was placed next to the names of the most important artists.
Cashbox
also printed shorter jukebox charts which included specific artist data beginning in the spring of 1950. Separate charts were presented for
juke box
popularity, record sales, and radio airplay, similar to
Billboard'
s methodology prior to August 1958, when
Billboard
debuted its "Hot 100," which attempted to combine all measures of popularity into one all-encompassing chart. In addition,
Cashbox
published chart data for specific genres, such as
country music
and R&B music.
Cashbox
was revived as an Internet-only magazine in 2006 with the consent and cooperation of the family of George Albert, the late president and publisher of the original edition.
Cashbox
has begun issuing special print editions occasionally.

Documents filed with the Secretary of the State of South Carolina where the publication & company are located shows Cashbox incorporation and current magazine ownership.
