Hi,
RispondiEliminaI created the PDF of Jim's notebook included with this download (it was originally distributed via the Tape Traders Den as part of a Jim Morrison compilation) and thought visitors might like to know a little more about it:
This 1997 limited edition (8 1/2” x 11”) softcover book contains 157 pages of Jim’s original poetry. The notebooks used to compile this material were among the items recovered from the 127 Fascination Box found in San Francisco in the 1980s.
The “Paris Journal” can be broken up into two parts. The first part contains 94 pages which are exact copies from the notebooks it’s believed Jim carried with him during his last days in Paris in 1971. It includes poetry never before published or seen by anyone but the editors of his two posthumous books, Wilderness and The American Night. The second part contains 62 pages of Jim’s work carefully transcribed by a document expert who was hired by the original pages’ owner to copy down everything verbatim. In addition to the transcriptions, there are notes from the transcriber describing the originals exactly. It seems the original pages were too badly faded to be photocopied. This material includes a few late poems as well as a full transcription of one of Jim’s 1965 Venice notebooks, containing lyrics to released and unreleased songs.
Note: The person who transcribed the text in the second part wrote everything in capital letters. For this reason, I doubt whether the transcription was actually done by “a document expert” as is claimed. Since Jim was fond of using unconventional capitalization, the statement made in the book that these transcriptions are 98% accurate simply isn’t true. While I’m sure the words are correct and in order, they likely haven’t been reproduced exactly as they were written since Jim didn’t write in all caps very often. Hopefully, one day, this work will be made available either through photographs of the originals or precise transcriptions. Considering its contents, it’s probably one of the most important Doors-related documents out there and would be great to see in Jim’s own handwriting.
About the 127 Fascination Box:
From what I’ve been able to gather, “127 Fascination” was the label on a metal box Jim's longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson left in a San Francisco bank after Jim’s death that contained the poems he had been working on in Paris. The box remained at that bank until about 1980 when, according to Patricia Kennealy, a boyfriend of Pam’s (who had the box under his name) remembered it after she died. Rumor is that over the years, its contents were split up and some of it was returned to the Coursons while the rest was sold to collectors. The “127 Fascination” label has never really been explained. It may have just been a title Jim came up with for his box of poetry, or a label Pam put on the box at some point. No one really knows.
These pages have been scanned at 300 DPI in grayscale format from photocopies of an original “Paris Journal” copy. If you would like to recreate your own copy of the book, simply print the first page single-sided as the cover on textured paper or thicker stock (include a similar page left blank for the back cover) and then print the remaining pages back-and-front like a traditional book on normal white paper. Then take the pages to your local copycenter and have them bind them any way you’d like. Or, likewise, you can simply give the copycenter the PDF file, tell them you’d like it printed in the abovementioned manner and they’ll do everything for you. Either way, you’ll have your very own copy of Jim Morrison’s “Paris Journal.”

RispondiEliminaJust wondering: I recently downloaded this album and the PDF file of Jim's "Paris Journal" is no longer included with this download. I had never been aware of such a file, but now this comment by the creator of the file has me very interested. Is there any link to this file anywhere or any way to repost it? Thankyou
