I neve...

  Artist: The Doors Title: The Doors Label:  Elektra Format: LP Cat #: EKS-74007 Year of Release: 1967 Country and Year of Edition Issue: US 1968 Listed Condition: F/G Sell Date: 6/21/25 Sell Price: $6.20 Discogs Last Sold: 6/24/25 VG+/VG+ $74.71 Low: $1.69 G/generic Median: $25.50 Average: $30.57 High: $160.92 NM/NM Current low price: $13.99 G+/VG Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 24 Have/Want: 2423/1522 Where Sold: Lexington, KY Time it took to sell: 9 years Where and When Bought: early 80's used That's Entertainment Dollar Bin Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A+ Sad To See It Go: No The Doors first and probably best album was their self-titled debut.  There may be some later tracks I like a little more but "Take It As It Comes" is probably in my top 3 or so.  We were just talking about the abrupt AM edit of "Light My Fire" in practice the other night but on this album, it is in all its extended glory. Soul Kitchen. Break On Through. Back Door Man.  All on one reco...

I still have my beat up mono copy passed dow...
