It wasn't until I took a deep dive into organ-driven soul jazz during the pandemic (and I'm still underwater) that it really hit me how much I've always loved organ-driven music in general, going back to when I was a teenager first discovering bands like The Rascals, The Small Faces, The Zombies, Procol Harum, and others, including the Doors. And while I think the Doors are a bit overrated, it's impossible to deny what a stunner their debut album is, alternating between blues and psychedelia, with a dark, moody seediness burrowing into the underbelly of almost every song. This particular pressing sounds very good to my ears, "Take It As It Comes" is a good litmus test if you wish to compare versions, it sounds more rich and robust here than I recall it sounding elsewhere, with ample low end and a dynamic, full-bodied soundstage. My copy plays nice and clean with occasional faint surface noise. -
I have heard so many versions of this album and this is easily one of the worst. Mediocre sound.

I have a clean copy of this and I think it is great sounding. Jim’s voice comes through as it should as well as the band sounds amazing. Great balance.
