I'm a day late, but yesterday (July 3) was the 36th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death.
Elektra Records has just re-released the Doors' six studio albums with remastered sound and extra songs tagged on after the album proper.
Their third album, Waiting for the Sun, is especially worthwhile. The original plan back when the album was recorded in '68 was to have one side dedicated to new material, while the second side would contain the epic "The Celebration of the Lizard," which would run the length of side two. But the group could never get a satisfactory version down on wax, and the plan was scrapped (the lyrics to the poem were printed inside the album's gatefold sleeve instead). The remainder of the album was made up of songs Jim had written a few years earlier ("Hello I Love You," "Summer's Almost Gone") and hastily put-together tracks ("My Wild Love"). The new remastered edition of the album contains a 17-minute version of "Lizard," calling it a "work in progress." It allows the listener to hear what the song may have sounded like had the Doors completed a satisfactory take (the only part of "Lizard" to make it onto the original album was "Not to Touch the Earth").
