Item #SKB-4965
8vo. Single sheet of textured yellow paper printed in green ink, folded to make a 4-page leaflet. First edition. Morrison's poetic tribute to Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones who had just recently died under mysterious circumstances. This is the third of Morrison's four privately published works following The Lords: Notes on Vision and The New Creatures, also published the same year. Issued to be distributed as a free giveaway to attendees of two concerts by The Doors at the Aquarius Theatre in Hollywood on July 21, 1969. Reportedly the floor of the venue was strewn with discarded copies thus accounting for its rarity. We've handled this only once before in 35 years and OCLC turns up just one copy at Yale. Faint, soft vertical crease, else bright and very nice.
