TRUE VERY FIRST UNCENSORED RELEASE ALMOST ALL OF THESE COPIES ARE IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS . THERE ARE TWO UNCENSORED PARTS ON THIS ALBUM. THIS IS WHAT WAS CENSORED ON LATER PRESSINGS:

~

1) The first one is where Jim Morrison announces his libidinal intentions to his mother. This part of the record was never completely "Uncensored". Even the loud mono issue has this section partially obscured by Morris' hysteric scream. However, on the Mono pressing, the Morris' F-bomb can be clearly discerned (It is impossible to hear it on the Stereo copy)

2) The second part, absolutely uncensored and consists of series of loud "fu.k", can be heard during the climax of the song, one or one and a half minutes prior to the song's ending.
