    I'm listening to the 2007 Elektra/Rhino remaster....wow , the dynamics are really there ...LMF has been speeded up a tad, remaster was done by Botnick ..the original engineer, who opens the documentation saying "WARNING: This isnt the same album you've been listening to for 40 years. Well, actually it is and it isn't. So don't get freaked out...." ..."One of the most startling things was that the original album as it has existed on the street for 40 years is running slow and off key - flat" and he goes on into the tech aspects ...bottom line: THIS VERSION SOUNDS NEW & FANTASTIC !!

    http://www.amazon.com/Doors/dp/B000M...sr=1-1-catcorr

    (Jim sounds especially menacing on "Backdoor Man") ..... WOW

    LATER EDIT: I dubbed this CD to minidisk and listened last night with the Senn 580's , the detail is fantastic , very solid bass , detail/group chatter that I'd never heard...

    read further..."LMF" and "Break on Through" for 45 were the correct speeds, but the LP versions were slow ... on AM they needed a little more HF, so they wrapped a piece of splicing tape around the capstan to give a little more speed ...(so the faster speed compensated for the overall slower speeds,,,resulting in the 45 version being correct)
    also, the speeds varied by
    where the position in the tape was...ie; if the takeup reel was fuller, the weight slowed down the drive motors a tad ...so the first recorded on a reel was most accurate.

    When "Light MY Fire" is re-speeded , it clocks in at 6:50 as stated on the cover as opposed to the 7:05 as stated on the CD and actual LP.

    Some blues-based boogie rock from the little ole Texas band is a good way to get the blood flowing.

    released after Surrealistic Pillow, the band is peaking here and hitting on all psychedelic rock cylinders with Jorma's electric guitar everywhere, strong contributions from everyone else.

    What is this? Jazz, Indian, Psychedelic rock? The Paint It Black cover is a favorite track. A fun and well recorded record!
