Description & Collectors Information:

 

The Doors' "L.A. Woman" is a seminal album in the history of rock music. Originally released in 1971, the album marked a shift in the band's sound, as they moved away from their earlier psychedelic and experimental style and embraced a more blues-based sound. The album was well-received by critics and fans alike and has since become a classic of the genre.

The European release of "L.A. Woman" on 12" vinyl LP features ten tracks, including some of The Doors' most famous songs. The title track, a gritty blues rocker that showcases lead singer Jim Morrison's raw vocals and the band's tight rhythm section. The song's memorable riff and catchy chorus have made it a staple of classic rock radio.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track given space to shine. The band's bluesy sound is perfectly captured on tracks like "The Changeling," which features a driving bassline and raunchy guitar riffs, and "Crawling King Snake," a slow-burning blues track that highlights Morrison's sensual vocals.
