VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: The Doors Title: The Doors Label: Elektra Year: 1967 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Genre: Psychedelic Rock / Blues Rock Catalog Number: EKL-4007 Edition: Original US Mono Pressing (Allentown Pressing) 💿 DESCRIPTION Released on January 4, 1967, the self-titled debut album by The Doors is arguably one of the most important and influential records in the history of rock music. Recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood and produced by Paul A. Rothchild, this album introduced the world to Jim Morrison’s dark, shamanic poetry and the band's unique fusion of blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock. This specific release is the dedicated Mono mix . Unlike many albums of the era that were simply "folded down" from stereo, the Mono version of The Doors was mixed separately. Fans and audiophiles often prefer the Mono mix for its punchier, more aggressive sound—particularly on tracks like "Break On Through" and "Light My Fire"—and for the distinct vocal presence of Jim Morrison that feels more immediate and raw than on the stereo counterpart. 💎 CONDITION vinyl: very good plus (VG+) cover: very good (VG) no splits 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS ★★★ ORIGINAL 1967 FIRST EDITION MONO PRESSING ★★★ This is a highly sought-after First Edition era mono pressing. Finding a 1967 Mono copy is significantly more difficult than finding the stereo version, as mono production was beginning to decline during this period. This copy features the original gold/tan Elektra label with the 1855 Broadway address and the "Recording first published January 1967" credit. Pressed at the Allentown Record Co. (ARC) , as indicated by the matrix codes, this is a cornerstone piece for any serious 1960s rock collection. Owning an original 1967 Mono pressing is the only way to hear this masterpiece as it was originally intended to be heard on AM radio and early hi-fi systems. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Label Details: Gold/Tan label, "E" logo in white box, 1855 Broadway, New York City address.
