THE DOORS - AUSTRALIAN PLATINUM RECORD AWARD Presented to Manager DANNY SUGERMAN

Description

An original Australian Platinum Record Award for
The Best of The Doors
,
presented to longtime Doors associate and manager Danny Sugerman (1954-2005), who wrote the liner notes to this album.
Danny Sugerman met and began working for The Doors at the remarkably young age of 13, first handling their fan mail and organizing their clippings and scrapbook, and later writing press releases.  He was close to Jim Morrison, and after Morrison's death, became Ray Manzarek's manager, and then manager of The Doors, overseeing their catalog releases and legacy.
Sugerman wrote several books about Jim Morrison and The Doors, including the bestselling Morrison biography
No One Here Gets Out Alive
(co-written with Jerry Hopkins),
The Doors: The Illustrated History
, and his Doors-heavy autobiography
Wonderland Avenue
. He was also a consultant to Oliver Stone for the film
The Doors
.
We acquired this award directly from Danny Sugerman's widow, Fawn Hall, and her signed letter of authenticity is included, as is Recordmecca's written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
The back of the award at some point was opened, almost certainly to replace broken glass with plexiglass. In excellent condition, with just a bit of light wear to the frame. 24" x 16 1/4".
An extraordinary opportunity to obtain a genuine Doors record award with rock solid provenance.
[Note: In the past few years an abundance of fraudulent record awards have surfaced on Ebay and at auction houses; we strongly recommend avoiding any award that doesn't come with provenance and a written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.]
