Jim Morrison of The Doors Exclusively on Elextra Records Signed Promotional Head Shot

Jim Morrison of The Doors Exclusively on Elextra Records Signed Promotional Head Shot

Jim Morrison Fans -----

It's time to share this photo with the world. Apparently very few people even know this exists. First, I was surprised to learn the low number of authentic Jim Morrison autographs, cutouts-photos-anything- in the wild (300 +-). Second, I sorta expected to see some sort of version of this promotional head shot photograph elsewhere over the past 20 years. NOTHING! I would love to have some fun with this autograph community and encourage a healthy discussion. Let me open the DOOR; I will say this came with the concert program (California show). Unfortunately, while in college I had a debt to be paid and my friend got extremely lucky receiving the program instead of cash money. The program is long gone and hopefully it is sitting in a good home. I do not remember (yet) the location or the year of the concert and I so WISH I still had that item. The value would be incredible due to confirmation and authenticity with time and location. If I saw a copy of a program, I will be able to remember and fill in the blanks (Location, Venue, Date......) Any direction for this type of material to view would be greatly appreciated. This will allow me to share with all interested fans.

I am curious what everyone thinks and what they know about this Item. I may even consider putting it up for sale but am not ready to put a price on it yet if at all. Like anything, it’s worth what someone is willing to pay for as well as what it takes to get it out of my extensive, precious Rock n Roll Collection.

Enough from me now, I will enjoy sharing information with everyone over the next few weeks. I encourage everyone to post their opinion, questions and comments. Everyone is welcome to chime in on this one.

Fair enough. Personally, Im still skeptical. But your words carry much more weight than mine on JM.

Good thing I have no horse in this race! Good luck to the OP!

I shall now exit stage left as they say...

I'm not 100% certain about them. I'm just not seeing how they could be secretarial, and I'm not sure how else to explain them if they aren't real.

My piece was found in a house I had been renting in Pittsburgh around 1989. It was in a box in the basement and had been there for maybe 20 years. The box was full of sheet music and other theater type programs. The old owner had died and left all of his belongings. I rented it fully furnished. He was a theater professor at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University). He collected books and records sheet music to name a few. He had a lot of unique items. I went through various boxes and found the California Concert Promotion program for the Doors concert in the 1960's. Inside of the program was this autographed photo. I no longer have the program (i wish i did now for sure). Thats pretty much the history I know of. It obviously has some ware and a tack hole on top as well as a tape mark. The signature is black felt possibly sharpie if they had them back then who knows as there is a smear in the ink. I was too young to know what they had back then as I was born in 1968.

I hope this helps, thats pretty much all I know abut the history.
