A loose, bluesy late peak recorded just before Morrison's death, home to 'Riders on the Storm'. Relaxed and assured. A fitting farewell. Released in 1971, it's the kind of later record that serious fans treasure.
On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
