Not to be confused with the 2021 reissue, strictly similar but lacquer cut by Bernie Grundman (see runout numbers).
Not to be confused with The Doors. It has apparently the same images, but has "STRAWBERRY (G)" in runout, which means that lacquers were cut at Strawberry Mastering for Record Service Alsdorf.

Other similar releases:
This one with different label design
This one with red labels
This one and this one with butterfly labels

    My copy is absolutely the same, like here... But my vinyl weighs only about 140 grams, not 180g...

      Allright copy but it highly disturbes me that in 'break on through' the line 'she get's high' was modified so that Jim only sings 'she get's' with an unpleasent break afterwards
