Tonight's Vinyl Selection

The Doors

Self titled album

1967

Was there ever a better debut album than this one? Ray Manzarek on his Vox organ provides the perfect accompaniment for Jim Morrison's hypnotic vocals with this set of tremendously powerful songs, a classic soundtrack from the Vietnam era of the late '60s.

Includes "Break On Through," "The Crystal Ship," "Light My Fire," and "The End".

You know it's good when you still listen to it 45 years after you first bought a copy.

Great choice💽
