The Doors – The Doors (2009 Reissue on 180g Vinyl Featuring the Original Stereo Mixes)

The Doors is the debut studio album by the Doors. Recorded in 1966 at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California, it was produced by Paul A. Rothchild and released on 4 January 1967. The album features the singles Break On Through (To the Other Side) and Light My Fire and the lengthy song The End with its Oedipal spoken word section.

Following their formation and later-dismissal from the owners of Whisky a Go Go, the Doors started recording their debut album under the maintenance of Elektra Records in August 1966. The recording of The Doors established the band’s large extensive number of musical influences, such as jazz, classical, blues, pop, R&B and rock music. Its overall presentation has been viewed as a premature of the psychedelic rock evolution, while it have also been acknowledged as a source of inspiration to other works.
