The Doors - LA Woman [HQ] 1971

-L.A. Woman is the sixth and last studio album that the American rock band The Doors recorded with lead singer Jim Morrison, who died in July 1971. The album's style is arguably the most blues rock-oriented of the band's catalog.

-In 2003, the album was ranked number 362 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

- Following the departure of their record producer Paul A. Rothchild (who dismissed the group's differing style on "Riders on the Storm" as "cocktail music") around November 1970, the Doors and engineer Bruce Botnick began production on the album at The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles. Most of the tracks were recorded live, except for a few overdubbed keyboard parts by Ray Manzarek.

- Botnick later produced and mixed a new 5.1 Surround version of the album, which was released on DVD-Audio, December 19, 2000. It was produced from the original eight-track analog 1" master tapes.

- Early LP editions of the album were uniquely packaged: the album's cover was die-cut to remove a near-rectangular piece of it, with a sheet of transparent plastic on which the cover photo of the Doors was printed, glued in place in its stead. Later pressings featured a conventional cover without the die-cut hole and plastic window, and with the group photo printed on the cover itself.

- The band embarked on a tour to promote the album, although it would only comprise two dates. The first was held in Dallas, Texas on December 11 and reportedly went well. The second performance took place at The Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 12, 1970, where Morrison apparently had a breakdown on stage. Midway through the set he slammed the microphone numerous times into the stage floor until the platform beneath was destroyed, then sat down and refused to perform for the remainder of the show. Drummer John Densmore recalls the incident in his biography Riders on the Storm, where after the show he met with Ray and Robbie; they decided to end their live act, citing their mutual agreement that Morrison was ready to retire from performing. By the time the album was released, in April 1971, Morrison had moved to Paris, France, where he died three months later, on July 3, 1971.

@Superealmer Everywhere, mostly obscure torrents. Some are from YouTube and then i do my best to clean them up and provide the viewer the best possible experience.

My goal is to create a small resort for people that remember how rock used to sound.

@dogkiller07 Just watched the movie,he took the part of Jim Morrison to a tee...

[jagslyric]

This is apparently one of the most difficult songs to reproduce or cover (vocals, that is)....another reason why Jim was considered one of the greatest ever! Damn, whenever I hear this song I imagine being a part of a crowd that's watching him singing this live...and I end up head-banging and screaming! Oh, how I wish I was a part of that era, the golden age of rock'n'roll! Sigh!
