The Doors – Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine
2xLP, Compilation (Reissue) | Elektra | Cat. No. 8E 6001 | Canada | 1972

The definitive early Doors retrospective — a 22-track double LP gatefold compilation spanning their entire Elektra catalogue, originally released in 1972 and compiled by the band and producer Paul A. Rothchild. Canadian WEA/Kinney pressing on Elektra butterfly labels. Photography by Joel Brodsky (who shot the iconic Strange Days cover); art direction by Robert L. Heimall; engineering and production by Bruce Botnick and Paul A. Rothchild. Four sides covering the full arc: from the debut's Break On Through and End Of The Night, through Strange Days, Love Street, Peace Frog, and The Wasp (Texas Radio & The Big Beat), to the Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman era — Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, Riders On The Storm, and When The Music's Over. Includes two rarities: Who Scared You and (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further. The 11-minute The End and 11-minute When The Music's Over close Sides B and D respectively. Small amount of spine damage to gatefold; vinyl is mint. NM vinyl in VG+ gatefold sleeve.

Condition

• Media: Near Mint (NM or M-) — mint vinyl; plays perfectly
• Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+) — small amount of spine damage; otherwise excellent gatefold
