AUCTION BACKGROUND:

These auctions are being conducted by filmmaker Eric Predoehl to supplement funding for his own upcoming documentary THE MEANING OF LOUIE, which will provide a comprehensive history of the world's most misunderstood rock and roll song- "LOUIE LOUIE." During the many years of research he's done on this project, he's assembled a significant archive of pop culture artifacts, including music magazines, books, records, laser discs, VHS tapes, and a lot of unusual memorabilia. As he goes about the task of downsizing this overwhelming collection, he'll be offering these items to the public via eBay. We'd like to encourage you to bookmark his auction page, as there will certainly be a lot of diverse items for sale in the future.

As these eBay auctions are conducted part-time, with a fluctuating work schedule, shipments are often conducted only once a week.    We will try our best to ship things out quickly, but sometimes things to do get hectic....
