Comments and Reviews


BenLPMarts 18th Sep 2024		CB review 1.28.67 pg 38. BB mention in reviews 18 Feb 1967 as a New Action Album pg 52. Charted RW 25 Feb 67 #120.



thewillismon 16th Jul 2024		@RecordDragon I have an original 1967 LP and it plays the censored version of track A1.



RecordDragon 14th Jul 2024		Were both versions of track A1 released originally on LP? This vinyl play video plays the version without the 'she gets high' lyric.



RecordDragon 14th Jul 2024



frankheussner 11th Sep 2022		Added the B-Side to the later red label issue.



checkm8 22nd Nov 2017		Added images of butterfly label variant pressed by Columbia, Pitman.



thewillismon 2nd Sep 2017		Added gold label variants



ajtharp 6th Jan 2017		The Doors 1st album is now 50 years old.



jscaptura 12th Nov 2016		Added 1980's black/red labels.



W.B.lbl 6th Jan 2016		{Images #936145 & 936146} would have been Santa Maria all right; Pitman's own butterfly pressings had a whole new typesetting layout, with the side, cat. # and "STEREO" designation all on one line, and the track selections, publishing, production, and "recording first published" info in 6 point Spartan Book Condensed with Heavy Condensed (vs. 6 point Gothic Condensed No. 4 on the original).



musictom SUBS 5th Jan 2016		Here's the Butterfly labels, pressed by Columbia, Santa Maria, I think.



checkm8 11th Dec 2015		I would say the Columbia Pitman {Images #912346 & 912347} should follow the Monarch {Images #492278 & 492279}, but be placed before {Image #620092}. Just checking other Elektra entries on this site, there are a couple entries in 1968 & 1969 with the red label and large "E" logo (The Doors - Soft Parade, for one). The red label with the smaller "E" logo appears to have been issued between 1979 and 1983.



W.B.lbl 11th Dec 2015		And, in order, shouldn't that red Columbia Pitman {Images #912346 & 912347} follow the Monarch {Images #492278 & 492279}?



checkm8 11th Dec 2015		Added a front cover variant with the RIAA Gold Record Award seal and another pressing from Columbia, Pitman, NJ, on a red label.



W.B.lbl 29th Apr 2015		And thus, the newly-added {Images #732708 & 732709} should be placed before the Monarch {Images #492778 & 492779}. (Another mod's comment: Done!)



TheDroid 29th Apr 2015		Added a second pressing from Columbia, Pitman, NJ which lists the publisher of A5 as Harms Co. From reading W.B.lbl's entry it would appear this would be a second pressing edition.



Trainman 12th Sep 2014		Reissued 1970, same number, disc labels are red with white Electra logo



W.B.lbl 24th Jan 2014		Added first-pressing from Columbia Records' Pitman, NJ plant, which listed the publisher of A5 as Witmark (rather than the Monarch-pressed {Image #492278} which listed the A5 publisher as Harms Co., which would have been on second- and later pressings). Also note, on the Columbia variant, the same ochre tint used for another Columbia pressing client - A&M Records.
