Release Notes:
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. The group signed to
Elektra Records in 1966 and released its first album, The Doors, featuring the
hit "Light My Fire," in 1967.
Like "Light My Fire," the debut album was a massive hit, and endures as one of
the most exciting, groundbreaking recordings of the psychedelic era. Blending
blues, classical, Eastern music, and pop into sinister but beguiling melodies,
the band sounded like no other. With his rich, chilling vocals and somber poetic
visions, Morrison explored the depths of the darkest and most thrilling aspects
of the psychedelic experience. Their first effort was so stellar, in fact, that
the Doors were hard-pressed to match it, and although their next few albums
contained a wealth of first-rate material, the group also began running up
against the limitations of their recklessly disturbing visions. By their third
album, they had exhausted their initial reservoir of compositions, and some of
the tracks they hurriedly devised to meet public demand were clearly inferior
to, and imitative of, their best early work.
On The Soft Parade, the group experimented with brass sections, with mixed
results. Accused (without much merit) by much of the rock underground as pop
sellouts, the group charged back hard with the final two albums they recorded
with Morrison, on which they drew upon stone-cold blues for much of their
inspiration, especially on 1971's L.A. Woman.
From the start, the Doors' focus was the charismatic Morrison, who proved
increasingly unstable over the group's brief career. In 1969, Morrison was
arrested for indecent exposure during a concert in Miami, an incident that
nearly derailed the band. Nevertheless, the Doors managed to turn out a series
of successful albums and singles through 1971, when, upon the completion of L.A.
Woman, Morrison decamped for Paris. He died there, apparently of a drug
overdose. The three surviving Doors tried to carry on without him, but
ultimately disbanded. Yet the Doors' music and Morrison's legend continued to
fascinate succeeding generations of rock fans: In the mid-'80s, Morrison was as
big a star as he'd been in the mid-'60s, and Elektra has sold numerous
quantities of the Doors' original albums plus reissues and releases of live
material over the years, while publishers have flooded bookstores with Doors and
Morrison biographies. In 1991, director Oliver Stone made The Doors, a feature
film about the group starring Val Kilmer as Morrison.
