1968 ORIGINAL GOLD ELEKTRA in old-style UNIPACK GATEFOLD COVER
THE DOORS
Waiting For The Sun
USA - gold Elektra - EKS 74024
Hard to find *clean*...1968 first pressing vinyl in old uni-pack gatefold cover on the highly sought GOLD Elektra label...
includes the 1968 GOLD Elektra inner sleeve!
The band's songs set Morrison's poetic and often bizarre lyrical imagery against Krieger's bluesy guitar and the spiraling keyboards of Manzarek. Their chart success, however, alienated them from their original audience, who no longer considered them "underground" enough, while their concert audiences increasingly consisted of teenage girls, drawn by Morrison's sexy performing style. "Hello, I Love You" pushed them firmly into the rock mainstream.
The peculiar raw sound, surrealistic elements and Morrison's fine poetry really make this as a LP which is a genuine Doors classic ! The record begins with two catchy classic Doors love songs, which are followed by marvellous "Not to Touch The Earth", which has constantly growing aggressive chant spinning up to it's atavistic climax, containing the famous "Lizard King" phrase in it. "Summer's Almost Gone" is very mellow and surreal song, followed by the melencholy poetic winter themed, "Wintertime Love". This is very short but effective groove. "Unknown Soldier" is then a Vietnam protest song, combining ehtreal and conventional pop/rock elements. There was a famous film shot for this tune, where Morrison get's shot in the impressionistic execution sequence. What's one really clever element of these early Doors albums is their style how they combine easy musical elements with more challening and surrealistic themes, making their music accessible and interesting for very large audiences! The B-side of the vinyl starts with "Spanish Caravan", revealing the magic fingers ala Latin/folk music background of the guitarrist. There are some quotations of Albenitz guitar suites, and the traditional sound gets also treated with psychedelic sound textures. "My Wild Love" is archaic Indian chant painting visions of singers dancing around the nocturnal fireside at the desert. Another love song follows, and "Yes, The River Knows" is a tune that features a strong melody, full of effective moods. “Five to One” is the group at its most forceful. To all warnings from his legions of followers to take it easy Jim shouts “No one here gets out alive!” and that he is ready and willing to trade in his hours for a handful of dimes. We didn’t know what he was talking about at the time but he was walking down a one-way street toward Dylan’s desolation row and no one could stop him. The overindulgences Jim couldn’t resist were just beginning to take its toll
