The Doors - Waiting For The Sun (1968) (40th Anniversary Mixes 2008)
This was the album which was due to feature "Celebration Of The Lizard"--Jim Morrison's eagerly-awaited 10-minute poem written in tribute to said sexy reptile. Alas though, it wasn't to be. Instead they inserted less ambitious oldie "Hello I Love You" at the last minute and hoped that no-one would mind. Unsurprisingly, it sticks out like a sore thumb on a set which represents the peak of Jim Morrison's belief that he was some kind of leather-trousered shaman. Were this not a 60s rock group, such acts of narcotic delusion might signal disaster. Narcotic delusion though, was what 60s rock groupsmore… did best--and here's an album full of it: the elegiac piano inflections that frame "Yes The River Knows"; the warped, disembodied "Not To Touch The Earth" and that oft-overlooked pagan sea-shanty "My Wild Love". Indeed, only "The Unknown Soldier" and "Five To One" serve to remind the listener that this was an album recorded at the peak of the Vietnam war--the latter lyric, of course, spawning the title of Morrison's best-selling biography No-One Here Gets Out Alive...Rainer Zuphall
1968's Waiting For The Sun, The Doors' first chart-topping album, delivered the #1 signature smash "Hello, I Love You" and the Top 40 hit "The Unknown Soldier." Five bonus tracks include the 17-minute epic "Celebration Of The Lizard" and three previously unissued versions of "Not To Touch The Earth." New liner notes penned by Paul Williams.
Most remarkable about this release are the new 40th Anniversary mixes, supervised by The Doors and original engineer/producer Bruce Botnick. Longtime fans of these albums will fall in love with them all over again, because they now include parts recorded during the original sessions but left out of the initial releases...Dhar Jellinc
