Collecting Doors albums

I've been systematicaly buying all of the Doors albums made prior to Jim Morrison's untimley death. I so far have "The Doors"(1967) and "Waiting for the sun"(1968)

 

get "Strange Days"

 

I second that. It's my favourite Doors album.

 

vinyl or CD? forgive me if i sound dumb or whatever... dont care anyway. and nice sig... im guessin you might know where its at

 

Buy em all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Morrison Hotel is my personal favorite, But The Soft Parade is a close second.
Are you just getting the studio albums, or are you gonna pick up like The Doors Live, and An American Prayer ? They are both really good, and I would recomend getting them.

 

i have the box set, comes with really cool mini LP cases for the cds, and comes with an info book...which i've yet to read. Theres 2 quite rare albums by the doors also (without Jim) called Other Voices and something else can't remember.

 

Yeah, I have the box set too, but I can't think of the other album either.
Another great album by the Doors is "Essental Rareties".
Different versions of songs, Live versions, and some of Morrisons weirdest shit, like "Mental Floss".

 

Think L.A woman must be my favourite album, followed closely by the essential rarities cd. I hear the soft parade being slagged off a lot but i think its good! There is a good forum about the doors called the lizard lounge

 

A lot of critics and people did'nt like the Soft Parade because most of the songs had the brass orcastra, like Tell All the People, Touch Me, etc. but I think it's all great. And the Soft Parade on the Essential Rarities CD is fuckin groovy, man!

 

I've been looking for Doors LP's everywhere and I got lucky one day and found a Doors Alive She Cried LP! Groovy stuff man!

 

I think soft parade might actually be my favorite

 

I have 'Waiting For The Sun' 1968 original British vinyl 'Elektra' orange label L.P. with gatefold sleve.The record is scratched & the cover is a bit scruffy.I once owned: 'Strange Days' 1967 on Gold American Elektra label but sold it.
I have 'Strange Days','The Doors' & 'The Best Of....' on C.D.
I have 'The Doors Are Open' black & white video-tape Granada T.V. rockumentary from 1968.
Has anyone got the 'Light My Fire' single, 45 r.p.m. original 'Elektra' label from summer 1967?.I have never seen a copy,not even on e-bay.That must be a premium collector's item!.

 

You should just download them all. It's not liek anyone who deserves it would be getting the money anyway...

 

I have Waiting For The Sun and L.A. Woman on record
And I have the best of the doors on Cd
need more records...wanna get Strange Days

 

I also have the box set mentioned earlier. Every cd is great but the rarities cd is amazing with the live "The End". An American Prayer is a good cd to hear some of Jim's poetry readings although it could have done without the backing music.

 

where did u get the box set and how much?? i'm obsessed with the doors and jim morrison and am trying to obtain all the albums.

 

I got lucky, I inherited all my step-father's and his best friend's vinyl collection. between the two of them, I think I have every Doors album, I think I may even have 3 copies of Stange Days

 

i intend on collecting all the doors albums. so far i have morrison hotel, strange days, greatest hits and the best of.
can anyone tell my how many albums actually exist. before/after jim morrison's death

 

Before his death:
1967 The Doors
1967 Strange Days
1968 Waiting for the Sun
1969 The Soft Parade
1970 Morrison Hotel
1970 Absolutely Live
1971 L.A. Woman
1970 13 ( a best of)

After his death there were many (over 40) best of or live albums or reissues put out. These are the best in my opinion:
1972 Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine
1985 The Best of the Doors
1991 In Concert (Live)
1996 Greatest Hits
1997 Box Set
2001 The Very Best of the Doors
2003 Legacy: The Absolute Best
