Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembled shortly after Jim Morrison's death, this expansive double album bypassed obvious commercial hits to compile the darker, more ambitious album tracks from the Los Angeles group's discography. The inclusion of rare B-sides made it an essential, deeply atmospheric survey of their brooding psychedelic blues.
