    Description

    This 'Light My Fire' poster of Jim holding a sparkler is a VERY rare piece of music history. It's in vintage used condition with obvious folding and aged wear on the sides.  I don't know its origin but there are two stories which could shed light on its history.  See below:
    1) FROM AN AUCTION SITE:  "A poster featuring a black and white dramatic silhouette image of Jim Morrison holding a sparkler onstage with a strip of smaller black and white photographic images of him appearing on the left side margin. Text on left side reads “Light My Fire! “; text in upper right corner (in the form of a partial postmark) reads “Los Angeles/ Feb 7, 1968.” According to Doors management, this poster was made in a limited quantity to be sold in record stores in the early 1990s, but very few were released because a large batch of them were water damaged at the printing press and the plan fizzled out.
    2) FROM ANOTHER MEMORABILIA SITE:
    1968 The Doors ‘Light My Fire’ Tour Poster.
    (17″ x 21″) ORIGINAL 1st and only edition poster. These are the infamous posters that were sold by The Doors at the same time as The Doors Tour Programs. But as rare as the tour programs are, these posters turn up even less frequently. These are EXTREMELY RARE!
