FULL CONDITION DETAILS BELOW
January 1968 release of the much anticipated set of Morrison s poetic and often bizarre lyrical imagery against THE DOORS theatrical backing Krieger s bluesy guitar and the spiraling keyboards of Manzarek. Their sudden soaring chart success, however, alienated a few fans from their original audience, who no longer considered them underground enough, while their concert audiences increasingly consisted of teenage girls, drawn by Morrison s sexy performing style. Hello, I Love You pushed them firmly into the rock mainstream.
That said, the DOORS peculiar raw sound, surrealistic elements and Morrison s off-the wall poetry really make this a genuine Doors classic The record begins with two infeectious classic Doors love songs, which are followed by marvelous Not to Touch The Earth , a constantly growing aggressive chant spinning up to it s atavistic climax, containing the famous Lizard King phrase. Summer s Almost Gone is a enchanting surreal song, followed by the melancholy poetic Wintertime Love as an effective groove. Unknown Soldier is the Vietnam WAR protest song, combining ethereal theatrical elements. There was a famous film produced for this tune, where Morrison get s shot in an impressionistic execution sequence.
The clever element of early Doors albums is style and how they combine compelling art-rock elements with challenging and surrealistic instrumentation. Such inventive themes made their music accessible for very large audiences
The B-side starts with Spanish Caravan , revealing the magic-fingers ala Latin/folk music background of the guitarist Krieger. There are some quotations of Albenitz guitar suites the traditional flavor gets treated with psychedelic sound textures.
My Wild Love is archaic Indian chant painting of howling acid-visions with the poet/singer dancing around a nocturnal fireside in the desert.
Yes, The River Knows featuring strong melody brims with effective moods.
Five to One finds the mighty DOORS in their full forceful glory. To his legions of followers Jim shouts No one here gets out alive and that he is ready and willing to trade in his hours for a handful of dimes. Of course nobody knew exactly what he was talking about at the time when he was walking down a one-way street toward Dylan s desolation row - and no one could stop him. The overindulgence JIMBO couldn t resist when his alter-ego madness began to unfold
