Advertising and Marketing The Doors. A dream assignment?

May 12, 2016 by evpcd

I’ve been in the marketing/advertising biz for over 30 years. And with the exception of a handful of very cool projects, working with Slash for the L.A. Zoo, and Guitar Hero for Aerosmith, I’ve never really had the opportunity to market a band. My background is graphic design and illustration so it’s no surprise my collection is driven by what I find visually appealing. I began to look at the ads created by Elektra and placed in music trade publications […]

Before they were rock and roll icons. Richard, Saul, William, Bruce and James.

March 8, 2015 by evpcd

You know you’ve made it to “rock icon status” when just your first name is enough. Or Ringo, Slash, Axl, Bruce and Jim. I’ve always been fascinated by the origins and beginnings of rock stars and collecting the related memorabilia to their early bands and careers. Photos, set lists, business cards or even high school yearbooks, helps me understand and appreciate how they became who they are. In this post I’ll share some of what I’ve been able to track […]

Light My Sparkler. More rare Doors memorabilia.

December 21, 2014 by evpcd

Here’s a very rare Doors 1968 Concert Tour Poster, sold at a limited number of tour dates during their 1968 US tour, as was the scarce but more common program.

Here’s how it’s described on doors.com website. 1968 The Doors ‘Light My Fire’ Tour Poster. (17″ x 21″) ORIGINAL 1st and only edition poster. These are the infamous posters that […]

James Douglas Morrison graduates George Washington High School 1961 and goes on to become The Lizard King.

February 22, 2014 by evpcd

Another yearbook of a rock icon. Jim Morrison. Any decent Doors memorabilia is virtually impossible to find. Anything Jim even tougher. I’ve seen a few of these over the years. I had to find one. This gem came from Jeff Gold at Recordmecca. Jeff has scored some ridiculous Doors stuff over the years. Including Jim’s Paris Notebook. Check it out. http://recordmecca.com/products-page/museum-quality-collectibles/jim-morrison-paris-journal-1971-manuscript-notebook-the-doors/ Hard to imagine this clean cut high school honor student was going to become one of the most explosive […]

“Jim Morrison used to sit on this case and smoke a joint now and then.” According to Ray Manzarek.

October 2, 2013 by evpcd

  My latest find. Actually a trade. A Doors road case from the late 60’s early 70’s. Vintage, used, thrown across the room, beat up, kicked, dropped and sat on by the Lizard King himself. What makes this piece way cooler, if that’s even possible, is the letter the Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek wrote on Doors stationary to accompany it. I’ve for some strange reason always wanted to add a road case to my collection. You got to figure if […]

Okay…you’ve seen what I have, here’s some stuff I want.

February 15, 2012 by evpcd

Figured it might be time after to maybe post some pictures and descriptions of some things I’m looking to add to my collection. Most of what I’m looking for can be best described as what I don’t know about. It’s always more fun and exciting to stumble upon something you’ve never seen or heard of before. But, there are some items I would love to add to my collection. If you have any of these items or know where they […]
