Reviews

I was thinking I must have a different pressing as what I’m hearing bares very little resemblance to the below comments! I gave it a proper clean on the ultrasonic and it played through with zero surface noise. Personally, I’m accustomed to listening to this particular album in Stereo, but saw this cheap and took a chance on it. I do have a dedicated Mono cartridge, so maybe that’s the problem with others’ experience with it, but I have to say I found the sound on this to be powerful and dynamic. Yes it was a really enjoyable listen overall. -
Edited 5 months agoMy copy contains a strange printed inlay.
Heavy white paper with brown/golden "E elektra" prints...
Maybe a fake OIS? -
l have an original mono US '67 pressing, along with this 2009 mono pressing. The 2009 sounds pretty close to the '67 but it's a bit overly bassy and Morrison's vocals aren't quite as 'up front' on some of the tracks; so the '67 pressing does sound better. However, l'm still very pleased with the 2009.

I HATED the way this sounded, IDK if it's because I wasn't using a mono cart or what, but I ended up trading it in. I don't think I'm a fan of mono in general TBH also. -
I’m on the fence about getting this. I have the Rhino mono Strange Days pressing and think it sounds fine. I much prefer mono over the stereo mixes. -
Had this one for years, never liked it, thought it was a bad pressing, had it cleaned several times in a HiFi store.
Since I have bought a dedicated Mono Cartridge, I am very pleased with the sound. I use an Ortofon 2M Mono with Bronze Stylus. Surface noise is lower, too. Compare it to the mono version on streaming services. The sound is as intended (or at least as the current version sounds). Do not have an OG, will never go for one in mint quality since it is too expensive for my taste. -
This isn't edited or censored, you just have to listen closely. You can hear all the words they are faint because he did something called scat singing. It has always been that way since 1967 version. It was due to a mistake made where the original masters were given for a movie (Apocalypse Now)and they got stuck with the not so good version for the vinyl release. Now they do have the masters back, but it is on the stereo versions. BTW mine sounds fine no static or pops. -
It hurts to say, but this is the worst vinyl reissue i ever listened to. Lots of jumps in volume and annoyingly distorted segments. I purchased a copy having even known it had some issues based on the comments below because it had a decently cheap price tag. I have a few Rhino reissues and this is my first bad experience with a usually great label. -
The Doors more than any other album has the least consensus here and on the SH forums. I think the only way to settle this to just buy this one and see if its enjoyable. It’s not a wallet buster. But, I’m going to pick up an og mono too, something listenable but not too expensive. If I too, I’ll report back
-
Never heard an OG but my mono cartridge delivers this one the way I expect a mono rock recording of that time sound. Starts off raw with mellower but punchy tracks to follow. Surely the sound stage is not as wide as e.g. stereo presentations but it sounds very authentic and has roomy depths. Organs and drums especially. I also like the DCC reissue and both have their good rights to exist. Pressing does not give any reason for complaints.
