    I have to laugh at the positive reviews. Do you all know what a good sounding record actually sounds like? This mix is mostly a novelty at this point. Not AT ALL comparable to the AP stereo version. FWIW, I have both this one and the Rhino, and I don't care to listen to either of them a second time. Neat to have, but if I could only have one copy, it would definitely be the stereo mix.

    I will admit, this sure is an attractive copy. I quite like the shade of green used, and the labels are a nod to 60s WLPs. The jacket is thick, glossy, and premium feeling. It's a shame they couldn't cut a 33rpm stereo version from tape instead.

      How many copies has this record been pressed ? I haven't seen this indication anywhere ?

        This beats the Rhino mono pressing, hands down, but I think the Analogue Productions stereo is still the best modern pressing to be had.

          This pressing is the best mono out there, compared to acoustic sound’s 45. It has a super deep sound stage with that classic mono sound, much more cohesive with great instrument separation, low noise floor. A must add to any Doors collection.

            Superb edition aesthetically. My copy plays fine (I personally like the powerful bass in the mix), given that this is no audiophile recording to begin with. Very satisfied with this purchase.

              So many reviews for this one, i'm surprised! Some say it sounds so good and some doesn't. Well to.my ears, on my McIntosh amp and Rega P3 tt, it doesnt sound so good, not bad. The bass is really cut to heavy and sounds harsh. You got to lower the bass on your amp to get a decent playback. The Lp has a very light warp that probably cause few background noise on side 2, first track. The vocals are bright and clear and organ is up front in the mix. I still believe that a first mono original would play better than this one.

                I cannot BELIEVE the reviews on this album! Either my copy is an errant POS or I need to check myself into Bellevue. I will never buy another analog/digital/analog vinyl ever again. Rhino & VMP should be hanging their heads in shame. (Upside: great packaging.)

                  This pressing sounds great. So nice to have this in mono. The drum snare has real snap and I love the bass. Another winner from VMP.

                      Literally only just playing it today from originally receiving it as my ROTM… sounds really good, first mono album I’ve played since collecting vinyl again, to be honest hardly notice it’s mono given the amazing song writing of this band… for reference using a Rega Planar 6 turntable and Apheta 3 cart with audiolab amp and Kef LS50 meta speakers
