plus HARVEY BROOKS, DOUG LUBAHN, CURTIS AMY, GEORGE BOHANAN, CHAMP WEBB, JESSE McREYNOLDS, JIMMY BUCHANAN, REINOL ANDINOThe 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

RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The weakest studio album recorded with Jim Morrison in the group, partially because their experiments with brass and strings on about half the tracks weren't entirely successful. On the other hand, about half the record is quite good, especially the huge hit "Touch Me" (their most successful integration of orchestration), the vicious hard rock riffs of "Wild Child," the overlooked "Shaman's Blues," and the lengthy title track, a multi-part suite that was one of the band's best attempts to mix rock with poetry...(AllMusic)
