Very Rare Doors Poster From a 1967 Performance at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood
Original circular hand-pulled silkscreen poster, promoting a three day performance by the up-and-coming band The Doors, at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood on 21-23 April 1967. A series of 20 posters were issued by Kaleidoscope in 1967, one for each concert that year. This dayglo fluorescent poster is considered to be the most rare in the Kaleidoscope series because of the type of ink used by artist John Douglas Kline in production. Posters in this series are almost non-existent because they were issued for promotion only, and the silkscreens used to produce the posters were burned in a fire. The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for roughly six months in 1967, with many memorable bands performing in that brief time. The venue was housed at the Earl Carroll Theater, which was then located at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and featured two concentrically rotating stages at the center of the venue. For The Doors performance, the show was moved to a club called Ciros, at 8433 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, (which is now the Comedy Store) since the original location of the club at the Earl Carroll Theatre had yet to be finalized. Circular poster depicts a silhouette of the faces of The Doors, with the band names in psychedelic 60’s font, and is printed in bright shades in a color combination meant to play tricks on the eye, as if looking through a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Previously owned by Alan Brackett, the original bass player in the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who played with The Doors at this venue, along with The UFO. Poster measures 18.75″ in diameter, with some pinholes around the edge and very minor creasing. Near fine condition. Sold for $3,936.
Billie Holiday Signed 8” x 10” Photograph — ”Stay as Great as you Are / Billie Holiday”
Billie Holiday signed 8” x 10” glossy photograph. Holiday elegantly signs ”Stay as Great as you Are / Billie Holiday” in blue ink to publicity photograph. Lot also includes LP of Holiday’s 1954 release ”Volume 3” with colorful cover designed by renowned artist Burt Goldblatt. Very light creasing to photograph, overall near fine. Sold for $3,750.
Lovely lot by American composer Cole Porter. Includes an autograph manuscript quotation signed of ”Night and Day” where Porter draws a stanza in bass clef under which he writes, ”Night + day, you are the one!” Porter also signs a matte photo portrait of himself, ”Sincerely / Cole Porter”. Porter wrote ”Night and Day” for the stage production of the musical ”Gay Divorce” starring Fred Astaire, and it gained widespread popularity with its inclusion in the film version. Some of the most acclaimed musicians in the world have covered the jazz standard, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, U2, Ringo Starr, Etta James, and many more. Lore surrounds Porter’s inspiration for writing the atypically-structured piece, with one legend holding that he was moved by the Islamic prayer ritual in Morocco. Lot includes original envelope, from the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to a Miss Suzanna Lovett. Envelope is postmarked New York, 6 January 1953. Photo measures 2.75” x 3.75” and AMQS measures 3.5” x 2.5”. Discoloration from tape residue to the top of each, else fine condition. Sold for $2,772.
