The Doors returned to
crunching, straightforward hard rock on Morrison Hotel, an album that, despite
yielding no major hit singles, returned them to critical favor with hip
listeners. An increasingly bluesy flavor began to color the songwriting and
arrangements, especially on the party'n'booze anthem "Roadhouse
Blues." Airy mysticism was still present on "Waiting for the
Sun," "Queen of the Highway," and "Indian Summer";
"Ship of Fools" and "Land Ho!" struck effective balances
between the hard rock arrangements and the narrative reach of the lyrics.
"Peace Frog" was the most political and controversial track,
documenting the domestic unrest of late-'60s America before unexpectedly
segueing into the restful ballad "Blue Sunday." "The Spy,"
by contrast, was a slow blues that pointed to the direction that would fully
blossom on L.A. Woman.
(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RICHIE UNTERBERGER, ALL MUSIC
GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/)
Jim Morrison sings da
blooz!!! A truly psychedelic experience, if ever we had one. This album proves
that all Jim ever secretly wanted to be was a soul crooner and/or blues
shouter!!! I mean, the album is replete with Etta James and John Lee Hooker
impersonations and paraphrases. By 1970 when this masterwork was recorded, long
gone were pills, grass , mirth and psychedelic elements. Nevertheless, in our view this is BY FAR -
by leaps and bounds - the best album Doors ever recorded, period!!!
What else can be said of
this Doors masterpiece that hasn't been said over the past 48 years since it
was recorded?. Not much, we believe. As we said, to our ears at least , this is
the best DOORS studio album the band ever made - and we are sure many of you
out there will wholeheartedly agree with our assessment. Classic rock does not
get any more classic than this.

CONDITION:
·
THE RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE:
unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!;
we grade records under the strong,
diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a)
WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++.
A few light abrasions ARE VISIBLE, but
they appear fairly insignificant relative
to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually
distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR
visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the
vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b)
The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which
was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on
such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not
expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c)
The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.
(d)
Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior,
digital recording!!!
