The Doors (pressed on 180 gram vinyl, contrary to the 2012 release which was pressed on 200 gram)

~ Release by The Doors (see all versions of this release, 51 available)

Annotation

The Doors self-titled 1967 release famously contains some incorrect speed and pitch issues. While there have been "corrected" versions made, in the interests of being historically accurate, this Analogue Productions reissue was cut without speed or pitch correction.

Runout details: the sequence "AAPP 75007-45 X" is hand etched, while "TML-M" and "QRP" are stamped on each side.

Pressed on 180 gram vinyl, contrary to the 2012 release which was pressed on 200 gram.
Contains also an Acoustic Sounds gatefold promotional insert, with date "Fall 2020" or "Summer/Fall 2021" written on first page, and "Manufactured at Quality Record Pressings on 180-gram vinyl" on last page.
