Comments and Reviews


Lee Wrecker 12th Dec 2018		Right again Kemosabe! It can be seen in truncated form here.



Jasper 12th Dec 2018		I thought that seeing I bought mine early '72 it would still be original issue - it does pin the blue label down to 1971 though. I presume composer credits on side two of the blue label "original issue" are correct.



Lee Wrecker 5th Dec 2018		It's a blue Elektra label bonanza. Nice to see the original label turn up for this one. My memory tells me that there were also a number of different versions of the cover.



wax_museum 5th Dec 2018		Original label added



Jasper 6th Nov 2018		Hi Lee - I have sent correction for B4, B5 composer credits to "The Doors" as per label image 1788629.



Jasper 6th Nov 2018		Added labels from my copy - front and back covers are identical to that already added - 485852 and 485853.



PhilMH 6th Nov 2018		I haven't seen that blue background Elektra label before either - maybe it was unique to Australia? Anyway, comparing the ARC/CBS matrices on the labels (MX164191/164192) to those on the "Love Her Madly" single on 45cat (MX164209/164210, released 1st June 1971), this album was probably first released around the end of May, or maybe even on the same day as the single. (There's a project for someone - put all the matrix numbers on Australian ARC/CBS and WEA/Warner group - and a fair number of Phonogram/PolyGram - singles and albums into order, to give at least a reasonable approximation of the release sequence. I don't have enough time to do it in this life - maybe the next one).



Lee Wrecker 6th Nov 2018		It may well have the correct composer credits Jasper and not John Lee Hooker for the last three songs as my copy has. If it does could you correct the composer credits when you upload some scans. Does your version's label have the butterfly on a plain blue background like the linked album. I don't think I've ever seen that particular Elektra label before.



Jasper 6th Nov 2018		Hi Lee I'll have to dig out my copy bought early 1972



Lee Wrecker 6th Nov 2018		Probably a 79-83 release that's when I bought all my Doors albums Phil.



PhilMH 4th Jan 2014		Like "Absolutely Live", the WEA credit makes this a 1973 or later pressing.



Lee Wrecker 4th Jan 2014		I know John Lee Hooker didn't write The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat) and Riders On The Storm but that's the way the label credits the songs.
