THE DOORS ‘MORRISON HOTEL’ ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING (A1 +B1 STAMPER CODES IN DEAD WAX) ELEKTRA BUTTERFLY LABEL VINYL LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE
Sleeve Condition: Ex+; no damage, defect, writing, sticker or marking.
Record Condition: Ex-; a few spidery, wispy marks from sleeve withdrawal but not deep scratches, scuffs or groove damage. Record plays fine throughout and is entirely free from any kind of pops, clicks or tracking problems. There is some very light vinyl noise between tracks and very quiet passages (if you can find any on a Doors LP!) but this is not a euphemism for heavy vinyl crackle or track damage from heavy use. This is a nice, clean LP which falls easily into the Ex minus category as specified by The Record Collector’s Price Guide condition summary.
A tough one to find, a first, 1970, A1+B1 pressing.
The Doors returned to crunching, straightforward hard rock on Morrison Hotel, an album that, despite yielding no major hit singles, returned them to critical favor with hip listeners.
An increasingly bluesy flavor began to color the songwriting and arrangements, especially on the party'n'booze anthem "Roadhouse Blues." Airy mysticism was still present on "Waiting for the Sun," "Queen of the Highway," and "Indian Summer"; "Ship of Fools" and "Land Ho!" struck effective balances between the hard rock arrangements and the narrative reach of the lyrics. "Peace Frog" was the most political and controversial track, documenting the domestic unrest of late-'60s America before unexpectedly segueing into the restful ballad "Blue Sunday." "The Spy," by contrast, was a slow blues that pointed to the direction that would fully blossom on L.A. Woman.
