Reviews

Sounds good, but not perfect. It's fairly wide and open, but I can hear some of the typical digital dryness everywhere. Also Jim Morrison voice is quite thin and harsh, except for Riders on the Storm which is definitely the best recorded track of the album. -
I think this pressing is a fantastic example of how incredible a digital sourced pressing can sound. There is phenomenal dynamics in this pressing though maybe a tad bright. I would have hesitations in recommending this in comparison to the fsr higher cost AP pressings.

Edited one year agoPurchased this to compare with other versions, and I can say that it is of very high quality, both sonically and physically (pressing flawless, UK cover art fine). I can hear more detail on this release than on other analog versions from 1971, so obviously this remaster of the 1971 Mix has been able to extract more detail from the tapes.
When I taped it, I noticed that this release is a little louder (hotter) than the 1971 versions I have been able to check, by about 1dB (10%), maybe a little more. I have not made a digital recording but if I do, I will revisit and check the data.
But in any event the background is pitch black and this version never clips, e.g. there is no distortion on the louder parts of Morrison's vocals, nor on some other louder parts.
I like this version and I'm keeping it. -
I'm not a Doors aficianado but this pressing sounds great to me. Vinyl is clean and dynamic. Was fortunate to pick this up 35% off list from a Warner Music Canada sale. Buy with confidence. -

Sounds pretty good, especially given its digital source. I don't own the AP version of this album to compare it to, but I do have the self-titled and Morrison Hotel from AP, and those have that live feeling to it, beefy analogue sound, which this one lacks. However, no defects on this pressing , which is more than I can say for the self-titled AP (MH is flawless).
-
What a great sounding record, i never heard this album sound better. Unless your willing to shell out a small fortune for the AP 45 rpm duel disk, this pressing is the best alternative. I would put this up against any digital format. On my open baffle speaker setup, this nuances really come through. -
Super pressing, the sound is perfect and the accompaniments are well highlighted. As for the cover, very original. -
Fantastic pressing, Love the transparent window on the cover (where you can use either colored side of the insert to display as a white or yellow background). Sound is terrific. Riders has never sounded so perfect. -
