Elektra EKS-9002 – Original 2LP Gatefold Pressing

Offered here is a nice original copy of Absolutely Live by The Doors on Elektra Records (EKS-9002).

About the Release

Released in July 1970, Absolutely Live was the first live album issued by The Doors and captured the band during one of the strongest periods of their career. The album was assembled from performances recorded in several U.S. cities between 1969 and 1970 and was designed to present a powerful document of the band’s onstage sound. It includes extended performances, stage favorites, and the first full official release of “Celebration of the Lizard,” making it a key title in the Doors catalog.

For collectors, early Elektra pressings of Absolutely Live remain especially desirable because of the original gatefold presentation, period label variations, and complete 2LP format. Copies with original sleeves, clean vinyl, and identifiable early matrix details are always sought after, especially since this title was often heavily played. The gatefold format and live-era significance add to its long-term appeal for Doors collectors.
