In 1974, Capitol Records issued an unremarkable hard-rock album. Receiving a low-key release and promoted through an underground marketing campaign, the album received limited--sometimes scoffing, sometime favorable--press attention for its eerie similarities to a famed rock 'n' roll icon who perished under mysterious circumstances three years earlier. Some audiophiles questioned the recordings as a lost solo album recorded prior to that iconic musician's death; others believed the icon still alive, in hiding and recording music; others believed the album an elaborate hoax--a prefabricated band created by musicians and producers looking to profit on the celebrity of a deceased rock star. To this day, blogging music journalists dismiss this phantasmal effort as a "comical" concept album: a parody of the then trendy, excessive and bloated rock operas created during the emergence of the progressive-rock epoch of the late Sixties and early Seventies.This is the ethereal tale of that wizard of Detroit and his epic encounter with the storied Lizard King of Los Angeles. This is a historical journey of the Phantom's time; a melodious trek through the excitements and the innovations, a musical expedition through the hypes and excesses and the successes and failures of the rock 'n' roll music industry and one of its mythical creations: 1974's Phantom's Divine Comedy: Part 1. This is the story of the man who replaced Jim Morrison in the Doors.
