Found this guy in the bins, cleaned it and played it tonight. Will probably break out one of Jim's poetry books and read a bit.
Huge Doors fan, I was introduced to them with the Oliver Stone movie and haven't looked back.

I need to get this on vinyl.

I'm a middle school English teacher, and every year when I teach poetry I always try to include at least one Morrison poem within the unit (along with some Ed or PJ poetry/songs). The kids typically think it's strange (especially when I play "Horse Latitudes" for them) but as we break it down, most of them love it.

Found this at a vinyl convention a few years ago. Super dangerous album, it always makes me drink large quantities of alcohol and act like an asshole. But I always loved the album.... feel like it's abridged compared to the cd though, anyone knowing it's a shortened version? Feel like there used to be more songs on the cd.

Yea, the CD has 3 bonus tracks on it: Babylon Fading, Bird Of Prey, The Ghost Song (About 8 extra minutes)

My father in law saw the doors in long island sometime in the late 60's and he said it was just pure chaos lol.

absolutely love good live versions of Alabama Song into Back Door Man into Five to One.

Had 5 groups on tapes that were always in my car in high school.

The Doors - Usually LA Woman and later The Best of The Doors
ACDC - Always Back in Black and then Who Made Who
Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits
Motley Crue - Shout/Theater/Girls
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance

Different people in the car enjoyed different music & while I probably would have kept it at Metal, most others were not fans. The Doors was a universally loved group and I could rock that to group satisfaction no matter what.
Both of my parents were big fans and I heard lots of The Doors during my formative years.
Ed singing with them for the R&RHoF was an huge early highlight for me.

Ha. Yeah, I imagine a lot of us are around the same age. Some of us are ancient and there are a few young skippers on board as well.

I remember my friend's girlfriend downloading this from a Napster type of site for me years ago and it blew me away. So damn cool.

I've got a silver pressing of those songs. Isn't it like 3 songs?

Correct.

Ed does a fantastic job with those Doors tunes. Wasn't it Break on Through, Roadhouse Blues, and Light my Fire?

Spiritual_Chaos · July 2017

Sucks PJ didn't bring those songs into the live rotation. Otherwise they seem to do it, when they have to learn a cover they keep it for their own shows. At least later in their career.

LukinFan · July 2017

I picked up Other Voices on vinyl over the weekend for $3.99.

Spinning it for the first time now. Pretty cool.

When you find the channel be sure to browse the other programs. Watched a very interesting Big Interview with Robert Plant last night that I am sure they will replay and they have half hour highlights of 'Classic Albums' that are fun. An upcoming one on one of the greatest/most influential heavy metal albums ever made, British Steel. Set the DVR for that as well.
