Excellent job on this review of my favorite Doors Album!! I was lucky enough to find the 1st pressing at a yard sale last summer for 1 dollar!!! Got it home and gave it a nice cleaning and wow!!!! (I listen to it every weekend with a few nice beverages! Rock on brother!
I Strongly disagree about the 2009 Rhino Bernie Grundman copy pressed at RTI. Everything, especially the drums are Crystal Clear. Highs are Definitely not muddy at All! Another one of the best sounding records I own. Sounds like you’re in the studio with them! It’s not just my opinion but Everyone I’ve played it for has been amazed by the sound. Wow.. no way would I give the pressing a negative review. Unless I was deaf! 😆
Definitely not trying to act like I know better (I do not), but CSM signifies Columbia's Santa Maria plant and CP signifies their Pitman plant. Terre Haute would be CTH. HOWEVER, this video is from 2018. Let's be honest, people only recently started getting super specific about the Columbia plants. (I think Discogs got a lot more detailed during the pandemic!) All three Columbia plants used identical label layouts (unlike how text varied between the Capitol plants), so they all look like the same pressing on first glance. You have to check the runouts. Elektra made things easier, but often you are looking for a tiny "P" stamp (Pitman) or a thin "S" etch (Santa Maria). Making things crazier, Columbia used to send plates between plants. There are plenty of times I will see a Terre Haute with a Side 1 plate from Santa Maria or a Side 2 plate from Pitman. Add to it that Columbia pressed for SO many other labels, and logging a collection of largely American pressings on Discogs is usually a real PITA!
i love this kind of content! makes things easier for us trying to find the best pressing instead of wasting money ourselves. if you haven't done Led Zeppelin IV, you should!
I agree with you 100%. The 2012 Analog Productions pressing sounds outstanding. It was my third version of the album I bought in my lifetime and by far the best. Soft Parade also sounds incredible.
You’re absolutely right on all counts. I really dislike the trend toward 2-disk 45 rpm pressings but, for the Doors, I made an exception. “The Changeling” is, I think, a standout track on this pressing because I’ve often found it to be quieter and muddier on other pressings. It really pops on the AP version here. I’ve been listening to these albums since I was a kid in the sixties and seventies and these (records in the AP box set) are the best-sounding pressings of these records I’ve ever heard.
Ah, I'm really glad you commented about this! I also have a 1st UK pressing. How do you think it compares with the AP 2-45 pressing? I'm really surprised that Michael didn't mention it. I really appreciate any thoughts you may have about the differences between the two pressings. I REALLY don't want to spend the $65+ for the AP if I don't have to 😁
Ah, I also have the rest of their albums as German pressings. They were given to me by a friend of mine who was moving to Hawaii. I don't think they are 1st German pressings, but later reissues. Do you think the sound on these German pressings of the Doors albums would be pretty good, or how do you think they might compare to the AP 2-45 pressings? Thanks kindly for any thoughts you may have about this! 👍 I just REALLY don't relish spending $65 an album for the AP's although I do have some of their other pressings and they are quite good.
You know, the last time I compared my top pressings of this incredible album, I preferred the Hoffman/DCC above all others, yes, including the AP 45rpm. Hmmm! But now you've got me thinking I should redo this shootout. I have a new cartridge and perhaps the tables will be turned.
Where will the new AP UHQR place one wonders! Will it be able to compare, or even get into the same ballpark as the 45? If so, is it the better way to go-- in terms of experiencing the record as a whole in the original format?
MIKE....You are the bomb!! Your reviews are so friggin' true. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I always use my DCC press as my go to 33 rpm lp for this title. After so many comparisons this is the one I always went for as I thought it was the best.....then I recently listened to your review. I went and bought the Anologue Productions 45 RPM press as you suggested. You are so so on the money. I have never heard this music, the tones on the piano, the tones on Jim's voice as I have heard today for the first time. Your recommendation is absolutely 100% perfect!! This copy simply sounds much more natural, as it shoud be. Thanks again....I am so blown away at this amazing sound. What a pleasure. PS>>>>You first got my total respect when you said the USA promo of The Wall (don't care too much for this title) was the best sounding copy because that is what I also determined for myself while my friends thought I was crazy!! Take Good Care, Michel PPS>>>Do you have any thoughts on Coleman Hawkins "Soul" lp? I sure love side one but side 2 sucks!!...wondering what is the best sounding one, as I really like the long track "Soul Blues"
The 40th anniversary remixes are cool! Apparently the original remix didn't include the microphone used in the middle of the room! Hear it again - for the very first time
I have a '74 UK Repress with a solid white background as opposed to the die cut sleeve. Uses the original UK stampers. Really nice sounding pressing. Bought it years ago from a charity shop for £5. May have to pick up the AP of it if it turns up for a reasonable price as I've heard it's amazing and possibly AP's best work.
Yeah, I've heard the version from Analogue Productions is the best sounding. I've also heard pretty decent things about the 180gram version. In fact, some say it's the cleanest sounding and has some of the best stereo separation they've ever heard. So maybe these two releases are the ones to go for.
Thank god I'm not the only one that noticed that... I was like huh, how did he screw that up? He had all the OG's mixed up. 😅 Haha, oh well, nobody's perfect I guess.
Thanks for the info. I have a Terre Haute pressing. Lots of pops and crackling. I find myself still listening to this record 40 years later that is saying something for its sound. Sure would like to hear the Pitman pressing.
4 years since you did this video Mike. Would love to see you look at some of the other Doors. Would love to hear your thoughts on the original album, particularly a comparison shootout with the Hoffman cut DCC and the AP. I know you’re busy so no pressure. Would be cool is all! Also regarding LA Woman AP - I agree that is by far the best I’ve ever heard this album. Also it is my favourite Doors album much like yourself.
Nice video ! I really like the way you compare the sound between the pressings ! Recently i bought an Elektra pressing from 1976 at the web, but it still in way to home. Do you know if the sound is similar to the 1971 version ? Or if it has been remastered ? Sorry for my ignorance about the theme! Im new in vinyl stuff. Regards from Argentina !
Somehow you got your runout etchings and pressing plants mixed up; CP = Pitman, CSM = Santa Maria, CTH = Terre Haute, etc. Whoops! 😅. Haha, oh well, shit happens. I have an OG Santa Maria, the AP 45rpm & the new UHQR. 🍻
I love this channel and these comparisons. I have the AP versions of Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and Strange Days. I was listening to Strange Days AP yesterday and on some parts, it seems to lack a bit of analog warmth and sounds quite digital in places despite being analog cut. I dont know if this is due to the recording or not and would be interested to see your thoughts on that one. I’m therefore in the fence about this one.... I did just buy the Led Zep 1 Classic on your recommendation and really think it sounds fantastic!
excellent job again,.....not sure if these have been done, but didn't see them here...Coltrane A Love supreme, Blue Train. keep em' coming VERY helpful
For Rush, originals are almost always best compared to the new reissues. For The Smiths its a preference thing. Either UK originals which are bright or the new reissues which have more bass but are a bit more muffled.
Any preferences comparing the AP 45rpm of LA Woman vs The Doors? I'm talking audio quality and not necessarily the content. Both very good but trying to decide which to buy first!
Great as always! I would be really curious for more Pink Floyd suggestions. I listened to the Japanese ProUse of Dark Side and it was way too bright sounding in parts for my taste, I much prefer the UK original. What do you think?
For Aja the original AB1006 is best, followed by the Cisco reissue. But Grundman is just about to do a 45RPM reissue of the album so that might take the crown.
@freelywheely I have a CP (Pittman) in deadwax, with round corners on the cover, but it's not a die cut. It has the Elektra label with caterpillar. What year would this be? Original is from 1971, so this must be a mid 70s press I would assume? Any help greatly appreciated.
The DCC CD version is AS GOOD AS the DCC vinyl, if not even better ! (many DCC CDs do sound better compared to the vinyl version; this is also the opinion of Tom Port from betterrecords) !!
Hello, maybe you could tell me? I have a version of this album, according to the matrix it is 1st press, the corners of the envelope are rounded, to the inside yellow, but there is no hole or sticker on the main cardboard envelope. Although the name is in block letters.
Hell yeah that's what I'm looking for. The Analogue Productions 6 album 12 x 200 gram 12" 45 RPM vinyl "INFINITE" Box Set. Thanks a bunch for your review!
What about Doobie Brothers /The Captain and Me...That is great album and I have the original green Warner Bros label release..Warner Bros always seems to have good quality stuff ..
Love your videos, really knowledgeable. I'm new to record collecting and feel I have a lot to learn as far as quality. I was wonder if you have done a video going over your recommended methods for cleaning records. There is a lot of products out there with a lot of great reviews, but some very expensive. Hope you can point me to the right direction. Thanks, Omar
omavero11 Personally I would not recommend cleaning unless you have a proper method like an RCM. I find it counterproductive to try and clean when you just push dirt deeper in the grooves or leave other debris from the cleaning. Ultrasonic baths and Vacuuming enzyme solutions seem to be the best theoretically but Ive heard a lot of people praise the spin clean. Personally Id save up a bit more and take a look at something like the Record Doctor V for 200$. It will require less distilled water and overall solutions and will save you money in the long run. Not to mention being more effective than the spin clean.
you should not say "the best version" but " this is the version that I think is the best" and then tell why. maybe there are people with different opinions out there,too.
The Rhino pressings are absolutely fine. Never listen to them again? Seriously? Seems snobby as. Sometimes taking vinyl way too seriously causes people to miss on decently priced vinyl that actually sound great. Respect your opinion here, but disagree. Seriously people, the Rhino pressings are very affordable and sound absolutely fine.

I made a point that his opinions could be based upon vinyl snobbery. I hope that’s cleared it up for you. I’m entitled to my opinion. Why is that so hard for you understand? Have a good one 👍

@Pieter Balk Correct.
At 48 minutes, the 45rpm is a must. Heck, the single disc 33 at 24+ minutes a side is just way too long with no breaks
45RPM is available on Acoustic Sounds website right now. Won’t be tomorrow.
You’re absolutely right on all counts. I really dislike the trend toward 2-disk 45 rpm pressings but, for the Doors, I made an exception. “The Changeling” is, I think, a standout track on this pressing because I’ve often found it to be quieter and muddier on other pressings.

I currently use a Ultrasonic Cleaner but it cost $5,000. Before that I used a Spin Clean. Worked good and was easy to use.
omavero11 Personally I would not recommend cleaning unless you have a proper method like an RCM. I find it counterproductive to try and clean when you just push dirt deeper in the grooves or leave other debris from the cleaning. Ultrasonic baths and Vacuuming enzyme solutions seem to be the best theoretically but Ive heard a lot of people praise the spin clean. Personally Id save up a bit more and take a look at something like the Record Doctor V for 200$. It will require less distilled water and overall solutions and will save you money in the long run. Not to mention being more effective than the spin clean.
