     WEIRD SCENES INSIDE THE GOLD MINE     

                                        USA - Elektra - 8E 6001 

Advance release WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL vinyl pressing from 1972 ...

2-record set in thick gatefold cover with printed DOORS album discography covers on inner sleeves.... Super rare and obviously sought as a white label promo, it is in TOP clean minty condition!!! (see below details)

TOP COLLECTOR RARITY ... old vintage rock white label promotionals have been highly sought by collectors for years...now getting really hard to fiond since all the important titles are safely tucked away in collections, the white label issues were very limited, having been pressed first from the freshly cut masters, so they are of the best sound quality. they were pressed up only for select radio stations and media publications for review...collectors seek these rarities above all....

Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine has not been released on compact disc even though it was certified in Gold level sales the RIAA.

This is the only official album release of songs "Who Scared You" and "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further," which were originally released as B-sides to 1969's "Wishful Sinful" and 1971's "Love Her Madly", respectively.

A very interesting double LP retrospective two years after Jim Morrison's version of the Doors had officially closed. Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine contained the first album release of two B-sides, Willie Dixon's "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further," sung by Ray Manzarek, originally on the flip side of the 1971 45 "Love Her Madly," and the beautiful "Who Scared You," "Wishful Sinful"'s flip with Jim Morrison on vocals from a session in 1969. Both are worthwhile additions not found on their first "greatest hits" collections. This overview is a strange amalgam of their music, the LP title taken from a line in the song "The End," which concludes side two. Five of the 22 songs are from the L.A. Woman sessions, including the title track of that album and the full length "Riders on the Storm," both clocking in at seven-plus minutes. With "The End" and "When the Music's Over" at 11:35 and 11:00 respectively, that's 38 minutes and 38 seconds between four titles, more than a third of the 99-plus minutes of music on this collection. Nothing from Absolutely Live is included, and surprisingly, the classic "Waiting for the Sun" is not here, though that Morrison Hotel number would fit the mood perfectly. "Love Street," the flip of "Hello I Love You," is here, but pertinent singles like "Wishful Sinful" or "Do It" and its flip, "Runnin' Blue," from The Soft Parade, are all missing in action. The cover art pastiche by Bill Hoffman is worth the price of admission, while the inside gatefold picture looks like an outtake from the first album. Bruce Harris' liner notes are truly the '60s merging with the '70s; he calls Jim Morrison "merely the index of our possibilities" and states that Morrison didn't want to be an idol "because he believed all idols were hollow."

The music is awesome, so put it on and check in with the Lizard King in all his glories.
