I've placed up for purchase the live single released in 1970 by Elektra Records titled "Roadhouse Blues" sung by Jim Morrison with the Doors. A test pressing pressed at Specialty Records Corp., Olyphant, PA. Length: 4:06. Matrix #ES-46005 SPI F1. From their 1970 album "Morrison Hotel". Then released again on their ninth and final studio album, 1979's "An American Prayer". It's in very good condition; I just listened to both sides. No skips, no pops, no scratches, and no scuff marks. Flip side is the Morrison narrated song "An American Prayer". Length: 2:13. The all white sleeve is in mint condition. Combine auctions and save on shipping.
In 1970 "Roadhouse Blues" was released as the B-side of "You Make Me Real", which peaked at No. 50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Guitarist Robby Krieger is responsible for all guitar parts on "Roadhouse Blues"; Morrison shouts "Do it, Robby, do it!" at the start of the guitar solo. Ray Manzarek switched from a Wurlitzer electric piano to a tack piano. Ex–Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian contributed harmonica (listed as "G. Puglese" for contractual reasons). Guitarist Lonnie Mack (then employed as an Elektra Records A&R representative) joined in to play bass. ©Wikipedia
