Description
Ray Manzarek ORIG OZ LP The golden scarab VG+ '74 Mercury 6338493 Doors Rock
Original OZ LP released in 1974 on Mercury Records. Cat: 6338493. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
More than Full Circle and Other Voices, The Golden Scarab is the best embodiment of the Doors by one of the three surviving members, and it is amazing it wasn't a huge underground smash. With mentions of moonlight drives, tightrope rides, and titles of past Doors tunes in "The Solar Boat," drummer Tony Williams, guitarist Larry Carlton, bassist Jerry Scheff, and producer Bruce Botnick generate an eerie sound behind the singer, creating a title track as mysterious and fun as anything by Morrison and company. With intense rhythms and tons of creativity, Ray Manzarek brings us on a musical journey as unique as The Phantom's Divine Comedy, and if Robbie Krieger brought the commercial element to the Doors' gravy train, it is clear here that the eldest of the quartet had more a hand in the development of the Doors persona than he may have been given credit for.
Tracks : He can't come today/ Solar boat/ Downbound train/ The golden scarab/ The purpose of existance is?/ The moorish idol/ Choose up and choose off/ Oh thou precious nectar filled form (or) A little fart.
