Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Probably The Doors' most underestimated album, Morrison Hotel finds the group rocking out more then ever before. Going back to their roots following the more experimental outing The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel features a rocked-out blues influence throughout, and as a result can almost be seen as a companion piece to their followup album L.A. Woman. The real star of this album is guitarist Robby Krieger, who never played better then he does on this album. Many songs are showcases for him, and two obvious highlights of his are "Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog".
Speaking of highlights, just about every song is of excellent quality, the entire first side, called Hard Rock Cafe, is full of classics, like the aforementioned "Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog" for example. "Waiting for the Sun" is more psychedelic in quality, as is "Ship of Fools". "You Make Me Real" is a fun little unknown gem, with that awesome boogie shuffle. A true gem on the first side is the beautiful ballad "Blue Sunday", which "Peace Frog" segues perfectly into.
Then we get to the second side, called Morrison Hotel, which begins with "Land Ho!", with that great riff which opens the song. "The Spy" is buried deep in the blues, and the deep Morrison vocal near the end is a favorite moment on the album. "Queen of the Highway" is a more straightforward rocker with that psychadelic organ also creeping in throughout. "Indian Summer" with its haunting melodics similar to parts of "The End". The last song, the heavy blues rock of "Maggie M'Gill" is another highlight, and one of the more underrated songs The Doors ever recorded.
Not only is Morrison Hotel one of The Doors' most underrated albums, it is up there as one of their best.
A: Roadhouse Blues Waiting for the Sun You Make Me Real Peace Frog Blue Sunday Ship of Fools
B: Land Ho! The Spy Queen of the Highway Indian Summer Maggie M'Gill
Obviando el hecho de que tengo más de diez años con este disco y no había hecho la reseña (habría jurado que sí la hice, pero ah, la edad) pasaré a comentar algo breve sobre este disco del cuarteto angelino. Es muy probable que si no existiera L.A. Woman este sería el segundo mejor disco de los ácidos músicos precursores de tantos ritmos actuales. En concreto, la lírica decae por momentos pero así como llega a decaer como en Land Ho! (qué culero soy, fue una de mis primeras rolas de los Doors!!) sube en rolones como the Spy o Waiting for the Sun. Hablando en términos musicales Peace Frog, Roadhouse Blues y la funeral Waiting for the Sun, Queen of the Highsway son las que dan la cara y en términos compositivos todas tienen su plus, un extra de sentimiento que te hace darte cuenta de que las cosas ya no son así actualmente.
A la distancia, cuando escucho este disco, me llena de una sensación de bienestar y tranquilidad, sin duda esta placa se ha hermanado a mí, no sólo en términos de haber sido el primer disco original que me hice de The Doors, también porque esas compañías no se dejan tan fácilmente y es que ¿en qué momento abandonas a tu amiga? Tu única amiga.
CONDITION:
: The cover: Rated: TOP copy M- the thick gatefold cover is strong and solid, all over = CLEAN with no seam splits, no bends, and no writing...has NO delete marks = all over a TOP COPY / obvious rarity as such!
The vinyl: Rated: all smooth both sides, rated: VG++ to M- still very clean, there are a few stray & minor short hairlines, light visible use, nothing near alarming. Overall probably nothing to cause lack of interest - the item is extremely scarce and sought after in this 1970 pre-release promo first state. Both WHITE PROMO labels have no writing or soil and overall CLEAN.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
