Spooky scenes in gold mine

"Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine" (after a line from The End) in 1972 was the first Doors sampler after Jim Morrison's death the year before. Unlike on many later Doors samplers appear "Weird Scenes" a couple of classics like Light My Fire, Hello I love you, People Are Strange, Moonlight Drive or Roadhouse Blues not on until it were a couple of songs from the " second row "as Take It As It Comes, Horse Latitudes, Ship of Fools and The Spy inserted, a rather bold decision.

Very appealing because almost completely auskommend without any compression, newly remastered by Doors engineer Bruce Botnick, there is, in contrast to the remix of The Doors albums 2007 an enjoyable bye with the original mix, ie the four songs on the debut album will also here to hear something in the slower line speed. At the time, scored the album with two rarities: Who scared you, the B-side of Wishful Sinful ('69); madly to another (You need Meat) Do not go no further, the B-side of Love her (there, however, as a shortened A-side, in the mono mix). This song was probably taken because they needed a B-side, as Jim Morrison had settled after Paris; the occupation with Ray as a singer and one or the other guest musicians already pointed to the direction that would Doors embark on their final two albums after Morrison's death. Since 2007 there is the remix to "LA Woman"; here the original stereo mix from 1972 is finally available.

"Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine" was due to the special selection a very bleak and fascinating Doors album, which in its overall mood his title is full justice and to the delight of Doors fans finally on CD, without booklet, but to Nice Price is going to have.
