1985 CREEM ROCK N’ ROLL READERS POLL BALLOT

BEST YEAR IN ALL HISTORY?

By the blood o’ Jim Nabors! We’re back-in-action, asking you, dear reader, to tell us exactly why you feel this has been the hippest year since ’53! You’re now entitled to fill out this wonderfully abbreviated readers poll ballot and tell us how we’ve managed to touch your innermost soul with this incredible mag-o’-mags! Then— aren’t we the bonny ones, though?— you’ll be able to tell us your actual opinion of CREEM itself! So tear yourself away from that checkerboard, fill out this form, and send it to:

CREEM READERS POLL P.O. BOX P-1064 BIRMINGHAM, Ml 48012

Please be informed that we must get your ballot by January 31, 1986—unless a tragic nuclear war destroys us all in the interim—for it to be “counted,” and this year we mean it more than ever! Don’t forget, by sending in this ballot/questionnaire, you’ll be buying a stamp for 22 cents and helping our troubled economy! And, of course, if you’re Canadian that helps us even more\ Catch our drift?
