    Like my other Doors lp’s, my copy was bought new, by me upon release. Still sounds great, and brings back memories from long ago…

      I have a vinyl copy with Soft Parade labels and sleeve. However, the album is Morrison Hotel when played. Any info on this misprint version? I haven't found it among all the versions here. Thanks.
