One of rock music’s most famous debuts, The Doors self-titled 1967 smash is legend
And now it becomes the kick-off for a positively stunning reissue series from Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings!
The Doors was born after Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek — who'd met at UCLA's film school — met again, unexpectedly, on the beach in Venice, CA, during the summer of 1965
Although he'd never intended to be a singer, Morrison was invited to join Manzarek's group Rick and the Ravens on the strength of his poetry
The group later changed its moniker, taking their name from Aldous Huxley's psychotropic monograph "The Doors of Perception"
The band signed to Elektra Records following a now-legendary gig at the Whisky-a-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip
The Doors' arrival on the rock scene produced a string of hit singles and albums destined to become clasics
Belting out a standard like “Back Door Man” or talk-singing such originals as “The Crystal Ship”, and “I Looked at You”, one reviewer wrote that leather-clad frontman Morrison exuded »both sensuality and menace«
"The Doors" reached Billboard’s No. 2 slot and delivered the No. 1 signature smash “Light My Fire” plus “Break On Through”, “The Crystal Ship”, and “The End”
