We’re proud to announce that another issue of the original OB Rag has been scanned and is now available via this blog. Check out these full pages of the Late January 1972 issue, Vol. II, Number 5. Plus more original photos and graphics from the pages of the old Rags have now been included in the up-dated history of the first OB Rag. This historical account is continually being added to, with the eventual goal to tell the story of the first OB Rag, 1970 – 1975. That story also includes the story of OB in the 1970s.
