    Any rumors about a potential box set of the Doors?  Maybe even
    something with some incredibly hard to find (but not impossible-thanks
    stef) recordings of Jim reciting poetry with and without music?
    
    -Jesse

    No I heard in on MTV. Adam Curry told it that a black leather box is
    going to come out soon.
    It will have the 6 original Doors CD's and American Prayer and a few
    never-brought out CD's !
    
    A must for a collectioner (like me).

    This article was in the Doors Quarterly Magazin :
    
    
Los Angeles for Doors Fans (written by Rainer Moddemann)

Hi- I'm back again from Los Angeles and I guess I have to rewrite my LA-
tours article since I noticed I forgot or didn't know about a few more 
places to go over there in the area of West Hollywood. But - just add this 
article to the one in DQ 23, and you have a next-to-complete description of 
where to go for your memorial trip (by the way - the complete guide through 
Los Angeles is featured in my own Doors-book, but readers of the Quarterly 
are priviledged to know even more in the near future. (Sorry - no private 
addresses of Doors-memebers, or Danny Sugerman, or anybody else : respect 
their privace, dear readers, even IF you'll find out their addresses 
yourselves - PLEASE !)

So - what else is there to see in West Hollywood ?. After Barney's Beanery 
and North Avenue you should pay a visit to the FATBURGER right at the corner 
of Santa Monica Boulevard / La Cienega Boulevard. This has been called THE 
EXTENSION ( in the sixties and early seventies), and it has been a topless-
bar, where Jim often used to give interviews (no guys, you won't see some 
tompless girls in the Fatburger right now). Look across the street - you can 
see a supermarket called LIQUOR MONACO (8513 Santa Monica Boulevard). Jim 
used to buy drinks in here, so did the other Doors during their rehearsal 
sessions (remember - The Doors' office had been opposite, and Jims motel-
rooms had been just round the corner. Amazing - the outside of this shop 
didn't change at all the past 20 years.

See LEO'S FLOWERS, a big flower shop, next to Liquor Monaco on the right. 
This has been THE PHONE BOOTH, another topless bar. Jim used to see this bar 
quite often (the next one to his room at the Alta Cienega Motel), and in one 
scene in HWY you can see the outside of the Phone Booth with its neon-
lights.

Walk DOWN La Cienega Boulevard. After a few minutes you come across a shop 
called MAHIN ORIENTAL RUGS (947 La Cienega Boulevard) on the right side of 
the street. Behind the big window next ot the main door was Pamela's 
boutique THEMIS, where she sold clothes from all over the world (rememberthe 
pics of Jim and PAm in Rolling Stone - They were taken inside THEMIS. Walk 
up the stairs and you'll note some offices. Behind the one with the letter 
"K" was the "HWY-Office", which Jim rented to prepare (and work on) his film 
HWY, with Frank Lisciandro, Babe Hill and others involved. Nice backyard, by 
the way.

Walk back outside and see opposite a spanish-looking building, which belongs 
to OHLMEYER COMMUNICATION COMPANY right now (962 La Cienega Boulevard). In 
the sixties and seventies this has been the ELEKTRA SOUND RECORDERS STUDIO, 
in which The Doors recorded their albums THE SOFT PARADE and MORRISON HOTEL, 
and started to record LA WOMAN until they moved into their own rehearsal 
room downstairs their office. Notice the dark wooden door near (left to) the 
main building. This was the entrance to the studio.

Go back to the crossing Santa Monica Boulevard / La Cienega Boulevard and 
turn left. Don't miss the Doors office. The Palms and the Troubadour. But 
see the building called NEW ORLEANS SQUARE (8585 Santa Monica Boulevard). 
This has been the famous and notorius TROPICANA MOTEL, where Jim used to 
rent rooms from 1966 - 1969. Down at the right side of this building was 
DUKE'S COFFEE SHOP (which moved to the same building as THE WHISKEY in the 
early 80's), Jim used to have his breakfast in there quite regulary.

Now follow the guide in DQ 23 again. THere is a large building almost 
opposite the WHISKEY. Today it is called THE CENTRAL, but in the sixties 
this famous LONDON FOG, where The Doors used to play their first club-gigs. 
Even today there's music (live music !) 7 day's a week. A historic club - in 
there the typical Doors - sound got developed in endless nights. Left to the 
CENTRAL there's a liquor shop called TERNER'S LIQUOR DELI. In these days of 
the Doors it had tha name TURNER'S LIQUOR (huh - the owner changed) !, and 
for the movie (watch it closely !) you can see a scene with the (movie-)
Doors walking across the street--the movie people changed the big shield into 
"TURNER'S" again...The Doors used to buy drinks in here,during the breaks of 
their Whiskey-performances (at that time th Whiskey didn't have a license to 
sell alcohol).
THat's it for now - more LA-tours in DQ 25. A million thanks to Frank 
Liciandro for a nice couple of hours in West-Hollywood with all the infos, 
and also to PAtricia Deveux for het nice help finding the Propicana.
    

    
    What is this about a Doors quarterly magazine?
    
    
    Jessica

    It's tha magazine you get when you are a member of the Doors Club in
    Germany.
    It seems that this is the only official Doors club in the world ?
    
    The DOORS fan Club
    Am Oelvebach 5
    D. 4150 Krefeld - Stratum 12
    West Germany.
    
    I'm member, but I only received 1 Doors Quarterly magazin.
    It's quite good. It has information about Doors books, bootlegs, the
    film, the 3-july event in Paris (where I was too)....

    Happy birthday JIM !!!

    
    Watched the film again this weekend, what a waste it was...
    
    					Listenup

    ....HAPPY 57th Birthday, Ray M.........

    ...just heard an interview on 'BCN with Patricia Kineally(sp?),the 
    Witch Priestess that Morrison had times with.....she's got a book
    coming out next week entitled "My Life with and without Jim
    Morrison".....the DJ asked her if this was an obvious "Cashing In"
    on her part,and she stated that if that were the case, she would have
    done it years ago when she needed the money......she also raked over
    Oliver Stone's portrayal of Jim....
    
    just FYI.....

    I'm just starting to get into the Doors. Yea, I've heard their hits
    a million times on WBCN, but I never have listened to a whole album
    except Soft Parade, which is my favorite.
    
    For those interested, there is a paper back picture book called "A
    rock and roll guide to LA" or something like that. Sorry I don't have
    the title. But it has pictures of some of the places in the earlier
    note. I was really suprised at how small their studio looked from the
    outside.  From the pictures of places Morrison stayed, he wasn't
    too fussy about his motels either!
    
    If you had to have one Doors CD, which one?  :-)
    
    
    
    
    
    

    I have one favorite story that has something to do with The Doors:
    
    My sister had only 1 Doors record..."Hello, I Love You".  When I was
    12, I "inheirited" her entire collection of 45's.  Since I already had
    some of my own, hers made my collection rather impressive (for a 12
    year old).  Whenever a friend of mine had a party, I would act as DJ,
    and bring all of my 45's.  When I would put this one on, more often
    than not people asked me to take it off, and play something else.  They
    would say, "This stinks!  Who is this?" etc.  I would tell them that
    this was The Doors, and they would say "Never heard of 'em...and don't
    want to now!"
    
    Just a few years later, in high school, some of these same people were
    going around saying that they had ALWAYS LOOOOOOOVED The Doors and
    everything by them!
    
    K.C.

    
    I'm in the process of reading Patricia Kennely's book, "Strange Days:
    My Life With and Without Jim Morrison", and it's good! It tells of her
    relationship with Jim and also discusses other rock happenings/people of
    the time, e.g., Woodstock, Jefferson Airplane, etc. (Patricia was a
    critic for a rock magazine at that time and was privy to all this
    stuff). What sets this book apart from the others Doors books is that
    she's a professional writer and so the book is actually entertaining and
    well written. The other Doors books are amateurish and boring (only a
    true Doors fan like me could slog through them) and the
    validity of some of the content is questionable.

    re. 10 -
    
      Buy Strange Days...but why leave it at just one more cd, buy them
    all!!! Well worth the money, IMO. 
    
     - Steve S.

    I was very disappointed in "STRANGE DAYS". She went on with too many
    useless facts about her life, although it was interesting to hear her
    side of her supposed Keltic(sp) marriage to Jim.

	HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM WITH YOUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY

I've read in the Holland teletext today the following message :

There is a plastic back that was found in the flat in Paris where Jim used
to live. This bag contains 2 tapes of good quality music and this will be
brought out on CD as from next year.


I think that those tapes were probably find in Rue Beautrellis, 17 in Paris,
where he died)
