Taken from a variety of live concerts by the doors from August 1969 to June 1970. Containing some songs not found on any of the studio albums, this two record set, which is the only authorised live LP released during the time the band was together, gives a great feel of what the doors were like live. Here is Soul Kitchen:
Released in April 1971, L.A. Woman is the final studio album by the doors with Jim Morrison. He died less that three months after the release. The original issues of this great album, came with a die cut cover with clear acetate on which the bands photo is printed. Later editions emulated this cover without the costly die cut. Early issues with the die cut cover command a premium (sometimes $100+) over later editions, but range greatly with condition. This is definitely one for the collection, if you like the doors at all, you won't be disappointed. Here is The Changeling:
The final doors album in my collection is a double compilation album from 1972. Other that a couple of B-sides from earlier singles, the songs on this album are all from the previous studio releases. Except for the absence of anything off L.A. Woman, 13 (the first best of album) is a better compilation album for anyone looking for the "lighter" side of the doors. Weird Scenes contains much darker, moodier songs, like this one Who Scared You:
