A dark, hypnotic debut balancing pop singles with the sprawling 'The End'. Morrison's poetry and Manzarek's organ define it. A definitive 60s record. Released in 1967, it's an early landmark for The Doors.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
