Vaughn Bode - Douglas Records Ad Illustration Original Art (Douglas Records, circa 1969).
<B>Vaughn Bode - Douglas Records Ad Illustration Original Art (Douglas Records, circa 1969).</B></I> Back in the 1960s and early '70s, Douglas Records was one hip company. Most Underground collectors are aware of <B>Douglas Comix</B></I>, a catalog disguised as an Underground, with great art by the top UG cartoonists of the day. This ad would have fit in that book nicely; with a bizarre image of a frozen hippy in an alley, with album covers adorning the brick wall by artists like Richie Havens, Eric Dolphy, and Muddy Waters. Crazy! Did this help sell any records for the company? We can't say, but this piece sure is unusual! It measures approximately 11" x 17"; most of the "album covers" have been pasted in from newspaper clippings (some appear touched-up a bit), and there's a pasted piece of board below the frozen man, otherwise this page is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
