Sunday PM, glass of red wine, & #NowListening to #StrangeDays by #TheDoors.

Not my favourite album, I prefer the bluesier stuff - LA Woman, Morrison Hotel & the poptastic Soft Parade. But this has some really strong stuff - I really like Love Me Two Times and, of course, People Are Strange. & Morrison’s voice is, perhaps, near to its very best here.

This is the reissue by #AnalogueProductions cut at 45 by #DougSax. It’s my only copy: but sounds great.

Brunch in the city & #NowPlaying #MorrisonHotel by #TheDoors.

I have a natural love of Chicago blues & grimy garage rock - which is why I enjoy this #record: the kind of sound which causes me to reach for my Telecaster & play loud.

#RoadhouseBlues & #MaggieMcGill, in particular, snarl & snap.

This is my only version: the #AnalogueProductions reissue at 45 cut by #DougSax. It sounds very good: rich, controlled, but with proper bite.

Change of mood: #NowListening to #TheSoftParade by #TheDoors.

This, closely followed by #LAWoman, is my favourite of their albums. Viewed objectively, the swings in style shouldn’t work (e.g. Touch Me into Shaman Blues). However, the lush Phil Spector-type arrangements, the musicianship, & #JimMorrison in fine voice, is unique & irresistible.

This #AnalogueProductions reissue mastered at 45 by #DougSax has depth & detail, but thunders when needed.
