Turntable Tuesday | The Doors, Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine

I honestly don’t know how you can’t talk about vinyl without ever NOT talking about The Doors! I know for some they are a bit of a love or hate band, myself falling in the love category. I could listen to Doors albums every day for the rest of my life and I would be a happy girl!

Last Summer in fact we had the very special opportunity to even meet drummer John Densmore and he was such a sweet, kind man! Though he was not the “official” Record Store Day 2014 ambassador he was very instrumental in it’s success this year promoting it by traveling and doing special events for it. At an one of these such events he was quote saying “The sense of community found in record stores was echoed by John Densmore, who spoke about his recent experiences with book signings at record stores around the country. He called record stores an 'oasis' and said how he loves the diversity found in record stores, with all types of music located in one place.” We actually were one of the people at the said record store book signings John mentioned and that was so awesome to hear!

That said, we are close to owning all the different albums produced by and for the The Doors. For Record Store Day 2014 The Doors, Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine reissue on amber colored vinyl was released. Since buying this gem a little over a week ago we have already given it many spins! Essentially a compilation album produced in originally in 1972 after the passing of Jim Morrison it also includes two b-sides tracks "Who Scared You" and "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further". As a fan of The Doors this certainly is a must add to your collection and you won’t be disappointed!
