THE DOORS

RAY MANZAREK, ROBBY KRIEGER, JIM MORRISON, JOHN DENSMORE

plus MARC BENNO and JERRY SCHEFF

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, 

were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, 

and Jim Morrison, vocals; with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. 

The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work 

and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics

"L.A. WOMAN"

Notes: The US and UK releases were initially issued in rounded-corner sleeves with embossed text. 

The front has a cut-out window with clear acetate, 

on which the band photo is printed black half-tone. 

The disc is in a yellow radius-corner liner, which provides background color 

to the sleeve window image when inserted. 

Later sleeves or cover images simply emulate this effect, 

with no die-cuts and with normal square corners

The final album with Jim Morrison in the lineup is by far their most blues-oriented, 

and the singer's poetic ardor is undiminished, though his voice sounds increasingly worn 

and craggy on some numbers. Actually, some of the straight blues items sound kind of turgid, 

but that's more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. 

The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour 

and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, jazzy "Riders on the Storm," 

was the group at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier "Love Her Madly" 

were hit singles, and "The Changeling" and "L'America" count as some of their better 

little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet...(AllMusic)
