The DOORS 45's- Any standouts sound wise?


I have the S/T, Strange Days, and LA Woman. Of the 3, I feel QRP nailed it with Strange Days. I like LA and the S/T very much, but Days stands out IMO. I am curious how others feel, and also want to check out Morrison Hotel and/or Waiting for the Sun. Cheers -Don

You may not have an original MH. Elektra switched from the tan label to red in 1969 and then the butterfly label in 1970 the year MH was released but I'm not sure what month.

To confuse you further Elektra went back to the red label again in 1979.

In any case the 45rpm are inferior to the original pressings.
The "E" in 1969 is about 1 1/2" square and in 1979 about 3/4" square.
Those are only estimates; I've never measured.
Also the originals have "1855 Broadway" at the bottom of the label.
Wow, a box set of 78 records.
I didn't realize they recorded that much material.
What's the label Nut Head Audio?
The first 3.
Reissues, seldom if ever, approach originals.
They're a scam and major waste of money given the cost.
I own only a few and sorry I purchased them.
