The Doors Demo That Almost Became Lost History
00:03
September 2, 1965
00:06
Six Morrison originals captured on tape at World Pacific Studios
00:10
almost vanished forever when Ray Manzarek wanted to erase them.
00:14
Morrison's stubborn insistence on preserving these unprofessional recordings
00:18
saved what became essential rock archaeology.
00:22
Raw vocals and basic arrangements reveal the Doors in their rawest form.
00:26
Producer Richard Bach offered studio time,
00:28
enabling this unique session.
00:31
Instead of the classic lineup,
00:33
Ray's brothers and bassist Patty Sullivan contributed.
00:36
Morrison's expressive vocals captured the raw L.A. essence.
00:40
Morrison's originals included future classics like
00:42
Hello, I Love You and Moonlight Drive.
00:46
The tracks lacked the guitar flourishes and production polish defining the Doors' sound.
00:51
Instead, they showcased Morrison's unfiltered creative vision
00:54
with Go Insane resurfacing in
00:57
The Celebration of the Lizard.
00:59
Manzarek's practical concerns nearly destroyed Rock History's most revealing demo.
01:04
Manzarek perceived the recordings as amateur, unfit for serious consideration.
01:09
However, Morrison recognized their authentic potential,
01:12
envisioning the Doors' essence, ensuring these tapes evaded oblivion.
01:16
This tension shaped their entire career.
01:20
Columbia passed, but bootleggers and box sets ensured these recordings survived.
01:24
Columbia's brief interest gave way to Electra Records,
01:28
igniting the Doors' stardom.
01:30
Decades later, these two raw recordings surfaced on bootlegs
01:33
and a 1997 box set,
01:35
preserving their unpolished magic for fans.
01:38
