I remember that Davey Jones license, really cool. The L.A. 60's music and Hollywood scene has been an interest of mine for a while. A few things I've learned- The biggest band in LA in those years was Love fronted by Arthur Lee.They were originally called the Grass Roots but their name got stolen by another band so they changed it to Love. They would fill up an entire block called Cosmos Alley every night. That must have been fun. Most of the new bands in LA circa 65/66 were not good live, even terrible. Most of the bands didn't even play on their albums., they used studio musicians.  The Mothers of Invention and Love could actually play their intruments and really well.. So this guy Vito and his friend Carl had a dance school. There were about 20 or so guys and gals that would go to the shows and dance in front of the stage like freaks so they became known as The Freaks. People would go to the shows more to see the dancers carrying on than hear the bands. According to Zappa and Johnny Echols of Love. 

The Monkees were part of the scene. Mainly Mickey and Peter. Mike wasn't into it but he became very close friends with Frank Zappa.   Peter's house was a 24/7 party house for a while. He was a nudist. Walk around buck naked all the time. 

 

My mom drove me and a few friends to Hollywood to see Love at Dave Hull’s Hullaballo (later the Aquaris Theatre). We were very young but thought we were so cool. Love was awsome. They were the house band there.

Zappa and the Monkees were good friends suprisingly. They were part of the Topanga/Sunset Blvd music scene.

There is a great documentary on it. Great time to be a music fan in LA.

If you collect something, anything(!), it's very probably somewhere on this list of collector's items not worth keeping:

A recent addition to my book collection, I normally just post these over in the pulp forums but I think this one might interest people here too.  1st Robert E. Howard book published in the US, with several Conan, King Kull, and Solomon Kane stories:

I used to collect World War memorabilia, since there was a lot of it at the salvation army and secondhand stores in Florida where I grew up.  And there was often an interesting story behind it.  The posters below came from a movie prop house and supposedly the one was displayed in the film "All My Sons" (not that there's a way to verify that anymore).

As a kid baseball cards and coins. Still have few cards. Not sure where the coins are

Lots of cool stuff there, but as a guy in New England the clear winner is the guy riding the lobsta!

35MM slides were really popular in the 60's. Here's a collection of them from Blackhawk Films showing the Movieland Wax Museum in Los Angeles.

Donovan Mitchell BB cards. He played college basketball for my hometown team Louisville Cardinals. Definitely my favorite NBA player. Got these Sunday for a $1 a piece.

Between packing, organizing and liquidating I am discovering things I'd forgotten I had and in some cases don't recall acquiring them.

Great stuff! I suspect that is true for many of us. I got into toys, advertising and other stuff by prowling for comics. As much as I don’t remember where I got a lot of stuff, there are things I bought up to 40-50 years ago that I remember exactly the purchase.

That “Micky” wooden figure is a VERY early Mickey Mouse/Ignatz Mouse ripoff. I have quite a few similar pieces of unauthorized Mickey, Krazy Cat and Felix.
