CСпасибо, что выложили в общий доступ. Никогда не слышал ранних записей Doors. Наконец становится понятным, чем именно занимается музыкальный продюссер в процессе "обретения неповторимого стиля".
Can't believe I missed this over the years. This makes me smile as a senior citizen.This proves they had great material before 1967! Thanks for posting. Made my morning!
@@ndogg20 Jim sang all songs' lead vocals on September 2nd 1965 World Pacific studios Aura demo acetate. Ray, on some songs, sung the vocal harmonies counter-chant, second voice.
Finding the formula is not easy. Krieger would have to arrive, Manzarek solve the bass issue and divert Morrison to a baritone voice to finally distinguish himself from the rest.
That is what I love is his baritone which is his real voice. You can hear it when he talks. Maybe the shyness kept it at bay until he got more confidence.
That's a gross over simplification. Paul Rothschild was to the Doors what George Martin was to the Beatles. Without Rothschild no amount of Manzarek or Krieger could have elevated the Doors much beyond L.A , think Seeds, Love .
These demos are fantastic before they were fully worked on. 2 yrs later you would hear the difference when they featured these songs on their albums. In 1968 Hello I Love became a hit. In these demos it proves that Ray Manzarek is a great piano player. He proved to be a great organ player. It also proves the Doors were an Electric Blues Band because after these demos they took these songs into another level. The Doors music would eventually become interdimentional.
Amazing archive of their early talent. As years go by I'm amazing more and more of their creative genius. It was as good as the beatles, and just as original. As I heard from a generation X'er, "They don't make bands like they used to."
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. I'm a big Doors fan and never heard this before. It's cool to hear this raw versions of great Doors songs and I can easily see the importance of Paul Rotchild's work in the production of the Doors' albums. He turned beautiful songs into classics with a very peculiar and original sound.
the doors themselves more honed everything over the following 2 years playing little bars all around LA...as jim's singing ability rapidly developed, and as ray switched to organ, and robbie was added on slide guitar, and what not...they also improvised like mofos and debeloped even more, and explored...thus, their unique sound was "found"....jim is green as F here, obviously; rothchild has said he just set up mics, and let them go...the first album was a lot of, if not first, then a lot of live, in the studio, type-takes.
dont get me wrong, its completely reasonable to comment what u did...their developement/evolution was fast, and staggering...really a "meant to be" kind of thing.
The addition of Robbie on guitar was a big reason for their sound to evolve for songs like Moonlight Drive and obviously their signature Light My Fire which he wrote. They had the Doors sound before Rothschild
So true. There's that dated surf sound and the constant wailing harmonica, but the lyrics are on such a higher level. As is Ray Manzarek's keyboard prowess.
I'm glad he started singing in a baritone voice. This sounds more like the kinks and early stones to me than the doors. They had such a great sound when they found it
Wow. How much they evolved through 1970. You can hear their potential but also the amateur hesitation found in anyone just starting new in their field. ✌🏼
Thanks for uploading. The treatment of the songs is here is pure 60s pop. It’s amazing how much his voice and the style of The Doors developed from here in a such a short time. End Of The Night is the closest to the Jim we know. :)
Unbelievable! Thanks for posting. Jim voice seems so young and Ray is right there. To think that 1/2 a world away the Beatles were already mature and slamming away. So glad I lived in these times.🙏
this is so great,thank you!! I think it's unreal how much Doors stuff there is for a band that was really only around for 4 years,I mean think about that for a second --what they accomplished and did in only 4 years,it is unparalled IMHO.And i'll add they missed woodstock.....The Doors and Jim will live forever
Got chills. I've heard this hello I love you and Summers almost gone before even though I've never heard them before..it's in my memories..anyways the last song "go insane" is full on where The Cramps and The Cure in the 70s got some influence from that style.
This is excellent! You can hear the genesis of a great band. They had the fuel, they had the oxygen, they just needed the heat to become truly explosive.
This amazing...this would been their first album....it would of worked....this should of been released!!!!....wow....Thay already had their sound!!!!... Fantastic 😎
jim morrison on lead vocals and tambourine, ray manzarek on piano and backing vocals, john densmore on drums, pat sullivan on bass, jim manzarek on harmonica, rick manzarek on electric guitar
Fedt man.Jim stemme blev alligevel noget bedre med tiden.Min store søster,var engang husassistent i London,1967 og 1968.Der lærte hun Jim morrison at kende.De kom på samme værtshus,i nogle uger hvor han var i London.De skrev sammen,et par år efter at han var rejst hjem.Min søster har stadig alle breve.
The Doors are my favorite band . I used to get annoyed when people tried to say they ripped off " All day and all of the night " on " Hello I love you ". I think early on the band was influenced a bit by some Kinks songs. There's even a little bit of " You've really got me " in " My eyes have seen you ". Not enough to call it plagiarism. Really surprised I haven't heard this demo in all my years. Very nice and thanks for posting it. Cheers.
There's even a LITTLE BIT of " You've really got me " ???Not to make an issue over it but its You Really Got Me' to the T with a few extra beats/chords added after the main riff.
Those who voted down did not mean to vote down, their thumb just didn't reach far enough because they were really drunk or too stoned..... wanting to in regards to press up.... thumbs up
I've recently been listening to the two post-Morrison Doors albums ('Other Voices' and 'Full Circle") and trying to process those (they're not good, despite fine musicianship). So this is the embryonic stage. I can only conclude that the Doors with Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore were infinitely greater the sum of the parts. Every member had great strengths, but everyone needed each other to make magic. Great to hear this stuff though.
Other voices and Full Circle were indeed pretty weak. That said, Krieger and Densmore formed the Butts Band in 1974 and this group has a couple of very good songs. Manzarek released two solo albums and then two albums with Nite City. In my opinion Nite City contains their best post-Morrison work. Highly recommended for every true Doors fan.
James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (Melbourne, Florida; 8 de diciembre de 1943-París, Francia; 3 de julio de 1971) fue un cantautor y poeta estadounidense, célebre por ser el vocalista de la famosa banda de rock The Doors.[4] Debido a sus canciones, personalidad y actuaciones, es considerado por críticos y admiradores como uno de los cantantes más representativos e influyentes de la historia del rock, y, debido a las circunstancias dramáticas que rodean su vida y muerte, en la última parte del siglo XX, fue uno de los iconos de rebeldía en la cultura popular, representando la brecha generacional y la contracultura juvenil.
Yup rick is on harmonica and i believe there's a female on bass. At this point Rick let Ray take over the band where they would later change the name to....well you know
Yes, this is more like Rick and the Ravens than the Doors. Ray's brother Jim is on the harmonica and Patty Sullivan is on the bass. Rick Manzarek is on the guitar. Kreiger had not been invited to join the band yet. Recorded September 2, 1965.
I have noticed that the song Moonlight Drive was kinda bluesy in my opinion and the doors changed my life for a long time but I still listen to them for fun lol
A great unique demo, where The Doors as we know are just almost there, very close. "Hello I love you" reminded me of a mix between The Yardbirds and Them

First time hearing this. Thank You for making this available. Been a Doors fan since my late teens!!!
¿1803? 😜
Beautiful voice and music ❤❤❤Jim will live on forever.Hecdid not know he had a very special gift from God ! Glad he gave it to us all.
Great...I can hear some potential...
Most definitely 👍
And from here they evolved to become one of the greatest bands with incredible albums that not only stand up today but are still ahead of time ,,, Gxx
'My eyes have seen you, let them photograph your soul - let them memorise your alleys on an endless roll.'
I've been listening to The Doors for 28 yrs, and just learned that lyric thanks to you, lol.

This is the greatest upload ever
Recorded on September the 2nd 1965, Patty Sullivan plays electric bass guitar.

At first he was telling Ray we need a singer 🤣🤣🤣. He didn't think he could do it. Funny how things work out
@@robdef9202 he was young as hell here, I think he just didn’t have a developed voice yet
@@rileytinny5946 funny thing is that if they did find another singer what would Jim have done in the band? Bass guitar? Or tambourine? 😂

How could I have never heard this? I have been listening to the Doors since 1979. Thank you so much for posting this.
All these recordings were included in the doors box cd box set 1997
@@kaveh-w- Thanks. I forgot that long ago.
all the tracks are gems, wow "Go Insane" is WILD, love the raw energy
Found its way to Absolutely Live.

Fascinating stuff. They were a bit old-fashioned for 1965 in some ways, way ahead of the curve in others.
So true. There's that dated surf sound and the constant wailing harmonica, but the lyrics are on such a higher level. As is Ray Manzarek's keyboard prowess.
Right. I can’t tell if it sounds like some type of 1930s song or a eaely 60s beach song
They never tried to be mainstream. That's what made them unique.
Yeah dude, definitely. JD got his brushes in full swing. His jazz influence always there.
I'm glad he started singing in a baritone voice. This sounds more like the kinks and early stones to me than the doors. They had such a great sound when they found it
So raw, some semblance of their eventual final finished versions !! Jim would be gone a mere six years later...
Summers almost is just awesome in this version
Fuck yes I listen to this version every night and cry it is so beautiful
@@Gaia0 Jesus
Yes, a real standout track. More subtle than the Waiting For the Sun version.
Quasi romantici.
Bravo Jim, avevi già l'arte nelle tue corde vocali.

The beauty of Morrison's lyrics still shine thru.

Some of the earliest psychedelia you will ever hear.
I get what everyone else is saying, but these versions are already great in a different way.
Man that's a cool record demo!
When I first heard this I thought no way is that Jim! After a few listens I could hear him in there, man did his voice develop!
thank goodness his voice got so much deeper because I so don’t like this !
Where did Jim's baritone come from? Music lessons,cigarettes and booze,really??6 months later he was the lizard fucking king,it don,t add up????¿😮
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!! Amazing to see their rookie years and how they developed their sound! Perfect!
This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing!! ❤
Beautiful ❤️ How innocent, raw and simple....exactly how his spirit was and is ❤️❤️❤️
Magnificent upload!!
Cheers✌
I would totally buy this CD. Maybe someone could add some later demos and put one out.?
Very cool find. Ty sir
“Go Insane” is actually called “A Little Game” and ended up, in a different form, as Part 3 of Celebration of the Lizard!
This is excellent! You can hear the genesis of a great band. They had the fuel, they had the oxygen, they just needed the heat to become truly explosive.
Sublime analogy❤
Viva siempre Doors, los mejores de todos los tiempos
Amazing how much Morrison sounds like the early Beatles on Hello I Love You.
How? Sounds nothing like them in any respect.
I love this version of « summers almost gone »
wow, that bass sounds so deep!
This amazing...this would been their first album....it would of worked....this should of been released!!!!....wow....Thay already had their sound!!!!... Fantastic 😎

Sometimes it's hard to even believe this is the Doors. It's almost like a Monkees version of their songs. Quite intriguing
Excellent
Thanks !!
End of the night is a goddam masterpiece. What a sound with the harp. I agree, not necessarily the Doors sound but this sounds amazing!!!
Garage. How very cool.
wonderful!! Thank you !!

Well at this point in time Robby wasnt in the band yet so the doors werent at their max here

Amazing post, my friend
U can recognize jim s famous scream in go insane
Boy this is lacking the balls of the later recordings. Got that mid-60s go go boot feel. Im assuming this is rick and the ravens,?
Yup rick is on harmonica and i believe there's a female on bass. At this point Rick let Ray take over the band where they would later change the name to....well you know

First heard this when the box set came out in the late 90s. Incredible 😎🤘
You can hear how important Paul Rothchild was, to grind the doors-diamond!!! He was the door nr.5...No doubt!!!
They were signed to Columbia around this time
Sounds like Ray singing.. totally bad ass
Sounds like Mick Jagger on My Eyes Have Seen You.
Jim with Rick and the ravens I believe
End of the night sounds like it could be the prelude to, "when the music's over"
"My Eyes Can See You" sounds like "You really got me" by The Kinks
I have noticed that the song Moonlight Drive was kinda bluesy in my opinion and the doors changed my life for a long time but I still listen to them for fun lol
That is Ray Manzarek's brother on the harmonica.
Yup Jim Manzarek!
A great unique demo, where The Doors as we know are just almost there, very close. "Hello I love you" reminded me of a mix between The Yardbirds and Them
HIYU is supposed to sound like " All Day and All of the Night "
а неплохо для первой демки-то
OSEĆA SE NESIGURNO-STIDLJIVOST-STREPNJA.........ALI, ODLIČNO - TO SU THE DOORS, JEDNA U DVE NAJBOLJE POSTAVE.......IKAD.......IKAD.....
That was the last time Jim had a hair cut in the saloon
He had a haircut AND a beer at the "saloon".
Cool
Very nice! Sound like a Beach Boys.
Who's playing the harmonica, and who is trading vocals with Jim? Or were these overdubs?
Wow!
🦎👑🔥🔥🔥
Fresh amateur. Amazing journey ahead
Hard to believe this is the Doors, hard to believe it is Morrison singing. Roy b , Cape Town, south africa.
"Summer's almost gone" sounds almost like a cookie cutter 60s pop song when you hear young jim singing it soft like
Go insane sounds like Thelonious Monk by way of Batman.
It also sounds like "Palisades Park" by Freddy Cannon
And the theme tune to 'The Munsters' :)
😎🤘
isnt that ray manzareks brother on harmonica?
Yup Jim Manzarek was his name believe it or not
