My groovy 45 Record Case from the 60's era. I keep my promo doors 45's in there only.

The place is better known to Doors fans as what it later became, the Hullabaloo, the Kaleidoscope, and the Aquarius Theater.

Thanks for that.

Anytime, man.

very nice!

Nice red light Dan, For a change you need one of those old rotating lights that change from red to blue to green , then yellow....or a strobe light!

Or one of those amoeba psychedelic background light shows like on the Moby Grape LP back cover!!

Time for a Freak Out....

No, man. Not yet. I'm looking to add like a couch or a comfy chair and make it a room to hang out in and party. I'm getting there though.

bought this at the mall tonight. $25.

Nice find!
No mention of radio broadcasts.

Cool, looks like it's a full-page newspaper ad mounted on some kind of sturdy material, probably a repro...yes?First time I've seen that one...what kind of a "mall" carries something like that anyway? Thanks for sharing

this older guy comes to town every now and again and rents out this vacant store in the mall. he told me about the ad last week and I almost fell out, but he had it in storage and I wasn't able to check it out until last night.

it appears as if the original owner glued the ad onto a wooden frame and then stretched out a piece of plastic covering over it and stapled it to the sides of the frame. I'm 99.9% certain it's authentic. you can make out the other side of the newspaper.

the guy who sold him the Mexico ad also sold him a set of 4 handbills. it's hard to tell if they're the real deal or reproductions. they're San Jose '68, Cow Palace '70, Avalon Ballroom '67 and Winterland '67. like the Mexico ad, all 4 handbills were pasted onto a wooden frame and plastic wrapped. he wants $50 for this piece.

They could be real but they're all fairly common, the price would be good but if they are indeed pasted on it's not worth it.

btw just cause it doesn't mention the radio broadcast(s) doesn't mean it didn't happen. All it means is that there was more than one ad for the show. If we can find the dates of publication on both ads we could get a good idea of whether or not the ad advertising the broadcast(s) was retracted due to a fallout or added due to a new arrangement.

the ad I have is from June 25 if that helps any.

Nice find !! Very cool !!

these pics are included in the Itules LP of the doors (selftitled) also pics from their contract, 3 interviews from soundstage performances and the BoT official video, is a nice interfase

So it looks like the debut sessions went into late September.

For exemple:
When you're strange and bonus.(for 20,50,100 and 1000 euros).

Seems that way.. wonder if they have all those takes.

Strange, because that means after their shows here between
09/15-18 Hollywood, CA, US Bido Lito's

the band did go to Sunset studios the very next day to work on the tune.

Why not? They're only blocks apart.

Well, I'm not at home in LA but that certainly makes sense Chris!

Never seen these concert posters. Are they really rare?

Both of those are very rare, but it isn't true that there are no other copies of the Surf poster.

Man... looking through here makes my collection look pathetic! Well it's not that bad, considering I haven't been seriously collecting for that long! I wonder what gems I missed in the photos that aren't showing anymore!

Would love to see some more rare stuff to drool over!

I just looked at that I Looked at You session reel again - wonder why it starts on take 5?

Bruce using the end of another reel for takes 1 - 4?

Maybe they screwed up something. You know how demanding Paul Rothchild was. I mean Roadhouse Blues took 20 or so takes to get it done, Unknown Soldier, what, 130? Not strange at all.
Or maybe he just wiped the first four takes. Maybe the first take exists somewhere. We have the first take of Roadhouse Blues and third of Love Me Two Times and Touch Me. Probably exists, but again, management picks what they want and not release the whole thing.
