My personal favorite doors album with no skips
Best songs are
Spanish caravan
Not to touch the earth
And wintertime love -
I have a VG version of this record. I've washed it twice, but it still crackles like a campfire on some songs.
The sound is all in all like all Elektra Golden Label. Very good stereo mix with a perfect wall of sound. I have reduced the treble a little. -

My original '68 Gold Label sounds awesome! I would say this is one to get if you can't get the Analogue Productions re-issue one.

I have something similar to this one The Doors - Waiting For The Sun but the label texts looks a bit smaller and the etching on side 1 has EKS-74024-A-1A then a couple inches apart it has G1 Side 2 has EKS-74024-A-1A then G1. Can someone help me or is it entirely a new pressing? -

Edited 6 years agoAccording to a documentary I just watched. This album was originally planned to include Morrison's poetic medley "the celebration of the lizard" which can be heard on certain live recordings such as 'the doors in concert' 2x cd, 1991. But apparently the record label thought it too 'out there' or whatever and wanted the record to contain more pop songs. So what you end up with on this album is, in my opinion a lot of filler songs. I can only imagine how good this album would have been if songs like Wintertime Love, Summers Almost Gone, Yes the River Knows and We Could Be So Good Together were replaced with the beautiful celebration of the lizard. It could have been another masterpiece on par with their first two albums. It's a perfect example of how major record labels interfere with the creative vision of the artists because they're much more interested in selling records to the teeny boppers.

One of the best albums from doors in my opinion. It was definitely the sound in 1968, watching different bands especially the early Steppenwolf singing the Pusher at the Matrix in 67
