1. RARE First Press 1967 original in glorious and sought after *MONO* delivering a bold punchy production and different song mixes from the stereo issue ...
   

   This is the so called "Uncensored" version, as noted by at least one semi-seldom eBay seller coming to mind ...

   
   ORIGINAL ELEKTRA RECORDS GOLD INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED: pictured in photos
2. The opening act by the dark magic of the DOORS on the highly collected gold label of Elektra Records...a highly collectible item, from 44 years ago, standing up in timeless fashion....
   
   The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the '60s counterculture, the Jekyll to the Beatles/Beach Boys' Hyde. Morrison's drinking, exhibitionistic performances, and drug-taking affected his input at recordings. Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality.
3. The Doors were the antithesis of windblown Californian pop. Dark, brooding and alienated, every element of the quartet's metier was unveiled on their debut album. In Jim Morrison they possessed one of rock's authoritative voices, while the group's dense instrumental prowess reflected his lyrical mystery. Highly literate, they wedded Oedipian tragedy with counter-culture nihilism and, in "Light My Fire", expressed exotic images previously unheard in pop. The 11-minute Oedipal drama "The End" was the group at its most daring and, some would contend, overambitious. It was nonetheless a haunting cap to an album whose nonstop melodicism and dynamic tension would never be equaled by another group again, let alone bettered. Howlin' Wolf, Brecht and Weill are acknowledged as musical reference points, a conflict between the physical and cerebral that give THE DOORS its undiluted tension. Or you can just enjoy it as a brilliant album that sucks you in as it breathes out the '60's
