Rediscover the timeless artistry of The Doors: Waiting For The Sun—a must-have for vinyl collectors and rock music aficionados. Released in July 1968, this third album from The Doors marked a creative evolution, introducing softer arrangements and experimental sounds that would influence generations. Featuring breakouts like “Love Street,” “The Unknown Soldier,” and the haunting “Five to One,” each track is a testament to the group’s poetic innovation and studio craft.
Little-known facts:
Recording the album proved challenging due to Morrison’s infamous behavior and escalating alcoholism, which led to long, tense sessions and nearly 130 takes for “The Unknown Soldier” alone.
“We Could Be So Good Together” was originally written for the band’s previous album and brought back to fill out the tracklist when the band ran out of new material.
Only a portion of Morrison’s dark, theatrical “Celebration of the Lizard” was ever recorded for the album, but the complete lyrics remain immortalized in its first pressings.
“Waiting For The Sun” is the only Doors album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 and has sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
