Part of The Doors reissue series proudly presented by Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings!
One of rock musics 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 whod met at UCLAs film school met again, unexpectedly, on the beach in Venice, CA, during the summer of 1965. Although hed never intended to be a singer, Morrison was invited to join Manzareks group Rick and the Ravens on the strength of his poetry. The group later changed its moniker, taking their name from Aldous Huxleys 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 Billboards No. 2 slot and delivered the No. 1 signature smash Light My Fire plus Break On Through, The Crystal Ship, and The End.
Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings are proud to announce that these six studio LP titles The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman are featured on 200-gram vinyl, pressed at 45 rpm. Also, four of the titles, The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, and L.A. Woman, are available on Multichannel SACD! All were cut from the original analog masters by Doug Sax, with the exception of The Doors, which was made from the best tape copy.
A truly authentic reissue project, the masters were recorded on tube equipment, and the tape machine used for the transfer of these releases is a tube machine, as is the cutting system. Tubes baby!
This is no time to wallow in the mire. The Doors are on Analogue Productions!
