A framed psychedelic poster made for the record release party for The Doors Box Set held at the Doors’ home away from home, Hollywood’s Whisky A Go Go, on October 8, 1997.  This example is boldly signed by the surviving Doors– Robby Kreiger, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek, and the band’s longtime manager Danny Sugerman (1954-2005).

This poster was owned by Sugerman himself.  Danny Sugerman met and began working for The Doors at the remarkably young age of 13, first handling their fan mail and organizing their clippings and scrapbook, and later writing press releases.  He was close to Jim Morrison, and after Morrison’s death, became Ray Manzarek’s manager, and then manager of The Doors, overseeing their catalog releases and legacy.Sugerman wrote several books about Jim Morrison and The Doors, including the bestselling Morrison biography No One Here Gets Out Alive (co-written with Jerry Hopkins), The Doors: The Illustrated History, and his Doors-heavy autobiography Wonderland Avenue. He was also a consultant to Oliver Stone for the film The Doors.In excellent condition in Sugerman’s original black metal frame, measuring 14″ x 20″.  Poster in mint condition, frame in excellent condition with a tiny bit of barely noticeable scuffing to one small area.

 

We acquired this directly from Danny Sugerman’s widow, Fawn Hall; its extraordinary provenance will be noted in Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
