2014 2X vinyl LP reissue of the long out-of-print first post-Morrison 1972 compilation. The 22 songs that appear on this collection provide a wide-ranging introduction to the music recorded between 1967-71 by the original quartet, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison. The band's longtime engineer Bruce Botnick remastered the music heard on this reissue, which takes it's title from a lyric in 'The End.' Two songs on this compilation, "Who Scared You" & "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further," were originally only available as single b-sides & considered rarities when this album was first released. They have since been available on later Doors reissues.
The music is awesome, so put it on and read the Metal Machine Music scribblings instead. Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine is a work of art in the first order, the way the Beatles #1 album is wonderfully redundant, and it should see the light of day again. This time they could add "Tree Trunk," the flip of the "Get Up and Dance" 45 RPM from 1972's Full Circle album.Ā
