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