The Doors returned to crunching, straightforward hard rock on Morrison Hotel, an album that, despite yielding no major hit singles, returned them to critical favor with hip listeners. An increasingly bluesy flavor began to color the songwriting and arrangements, especially on the party'n'booze anthem "Roadhouse Blues." Airy mysticism was still present on "Waiting for the Sun," "Queen of the Highway," and "Indian Summer"; "Ship of Fools" and "Land Ho!" struck effective balances between the hard rock arrangements and the narrative reach of the lyrics. "Peace Frog" was the most political and controversial track, documenting the domestic unrest of late-'60s America before unexpectedly segueing into the restful ballad "Blue Sunday." "The Spy," by contrast, was a slow blues that pointed to the direction that would fully blossom on L.A. Woman.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RICHIE UNTERBERGER, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Jim Morrison sings da blooz!!! A truly psychedelic experience, if ever we had one. This album proves that all Jim ever secretly 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 paraphrases. 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 44 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.    Finding a still sealed original copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

Heed these wise words of Jim Morrison, folks: you  wanna get your kicks before the whole sh!thouse goes up in flames! Bid on your kicks right here and now, or suffer the pangs of regret later!!!

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE 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)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)            The record is  apparently 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 BLACK Elektra stock inner sleeve, SUCH AS THE ONE SHOWN BELOW, FROM OUR PREVIOUS AUCTION (we can see it through the opening side).

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

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS STILL SEALED; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT MINT OR NEAR MINT DUE TO MINOR FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS EXCELLENT OR VG+++

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The gatefold cover has partially split seams on 2 out of 4 "legs" of the cover (about 3 and 6  inches / 1 inch = 2.5 centimeters).

-         Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on the top seam

-         Cover has one corner slightly worn / dinged (nothing significant)

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the spine (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a tiny "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.   (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
