Description

THE DOORS/MORRISON HOTEL is a Elektra Records European pressed 180 Gram LP from original session master with the original expensive gatefold cover. This Heavy Vinyl LP has been critically acclaimed as the finest and quietest ever produced.

It is a new listening experience that will virtually make you feel as if you were in the studio with the band. The nicest thing you can do for your stylus and ears. So, sit back, relax, enjoy the music, and remember the sound.

 There have been so few vinyl LPs produced over the last 5 years that you should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

The Doors did not react to fame easily. After hitting #1 in 1967 with "Light My Fire," the band was both embraced and mocked by audiences. Their albums sold well but were critically denigrated. Lead singer, Jim Morrison, was considered a visionary/poet but was also featured in teen magazines. Likewise, their work became full of contradictions.

The Doors' albums featured both blatant attempts at the top 10 ("Hello I Love You," "Touch Me") and winding, complicated epics ("When the Music's Over," "The Soft Parade"), both simple love songs ("We Could Be So Good Together," "You Make Me Real") and bloody timepieces ("Five to One," "The Unknown Solider"). The Doors' fifth album, 1970's MORRISON HOTEL may be their first with direction.

It is a return to their roots. Psychedelic musings, a smoldering blues sound and skittish guitar playing mix together in one immense, leather-clad, California highway-roaming, rolling stone of an album. MORRISON HOTEL begins with the unequaled bluesrock commotion of "Roadhouse Blues" and scarcely settles down. Only the beautifully breezy, "Indian Summer" and the slinky "The Spy" interrupt its embodiment of all that is good about prepunk hard rock. In a cool, masculine, dead serious tone, Jim Morrison sings of highway queens, pirates and blood on the streets. Robbie Krieger's rupturing guitar is taken out of the background with excellent results. His feral riffs define "Roadhouse Blues," "Land Ho!" and especially "Maggie M'Gill." Although, their career would not last much longer, Morrison Hotel undoubtedly brought the Doors back on the right track.
