"Musical 80" – song-lyric booklet (cancionero)
Book
Saddle-stitched paper song booklet printed on inexpensive pulp/newsprint stock. The cover, headed "CANCIONERO," carries the large title "musical 80" with a stylized gramophone-and-stars illustration and a printed roster of featured artists: Bee Gees, Silvio Rodríguez, Billy Joel, Amaury, Demis Roussos, ABBA, Pablito Milanés, Moncho, Osvaldo Rodríguez. Interior pages reproduce the lyrics of songs by these artists alongside halftone press photographs; the sample interior leaf (page 48) features a Bee Gees group photograph above printed lyrics to two of the group's songs ("Too Much Heaven," printed "To Much Heaven," and "Stayin' Alive"). Pages are numbered (cover paginated "1"; sample interior "48"), indicating a booklet of roughly four dozen-plus pages. The booklet juxtaposes imported Anglo-European pop with Cuban nueva trova. (Printed lyric text not transcribed in this record.)
