The Doors – Tracks From “Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine” (“Break On Through”, “Riders On The Storm”, “The End”) And “Light My Fire”
In early 1972 (summer in New Zealand), aged 14, I mowed my parents’ rather large lawn to get the NZ$14 required to buy the double album “Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine” by a band called The Doors.
I had never heard of The Doors before, and at the time I don’t believe I realised that their iconic singer Jim Morrison had died just months before the previous year (3rd July 1971 in Paris).
Nor did I realise that “Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine” was a compilation, I didn’t know any of the songs.
