"You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask." -Jim Morrison

Happy birthday, Danny Sugerman.

Step back in time to 1966...
It was the cusp of the Summer of Love, in Studio 1 at Sunset Sound Recorders, where the first “for real” studio recording session for the band happened.
The Doors' 1966 is officially coming for RSD Black Friday pressed on tan vinyl.
Experience a rare, raw look at the band's first formal studio session, featuring unreleased takes, studio chatter, and false starts for "Moonlight Drive" and "Indian Summer."

On this day in 1967, STRANGE DAYS was released, marking a shift in The Doors’ sound.
From “People Are Strange” and “Love Me Two Times” to “Horse Latitudes” and “When the Music’s Over,” the album explored new sounds and recording techniques, including the Moog synthesizer on the title track.
Jim Morrison also asked not to appear on the cover, so photographer Joel Brodsky took to the streets of New York instead.

New York was one of many sources of inspiration for Jim, and the city found its way into The Doors’ music.
“[Jim] said that 'People Are Strange' is 'about the people coming out of the New York subway as Jim Morrison was walking back from Andy Warhol’s Factory to our hotel in midtown Manhattan.” -Ray Manzarek
Jim Morrison + Ed Sullivan = one memorable night.
On September 17th, 1967, The Doors made their national TV debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Producers asked Jim to change one line in “Light My Fire.” He said he would. Then he sang it exactly as written.
Needless to say, Ed Sullivan wasn’t thrilled.
