Jim Morrison sings da blooz!!! A truly psychedelic experience, if ever we had one. This album proves that all Jim ever wanted to be was a soul crooner and/or blues shouter!!! I mean, the album is replete with Etta James and John Lee Hooker impersonations and phrases. By 1970 when this masterwork was recorded, long gone were pills, grass , mirth and psychedelic elements. Nevertheless, in our view this is BY FAR - by leaps and bounds - the best album Doors ever recorded, period!!!

What else can be said of this Doors masterpiece that hasn't been said over the past 37 years since it was recorded?. Not much, we believe. As we said, to our ears at least , this is the best DOORS studio album the band ever made - and we are sure many of you out there will wholeheartedly agree with our assessment. Classic rock does not get any more classic than this.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++. A few light abrasionsARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS ONLY ABOUT VERY GOOD- / very good minus / (VG-).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on all three seams and the opening side

-         Cover has all four corners slightly worn / frayed / bent.
