    The Doors - L.A. Woman

    Yes, this is the last proper Doors studio album before old leather-keks popped his clogs in the bath. Released in April 1971, LA Woman is the Doors at their loosest and bluesiest, due largely to the fact that longtime producer Paul Rothschild declined the invitation to helm the desk this time round. Apart from the title track, this album features Love her Madly and the gargantuan Riders on the Storm, not to mention the brilliant Hyacinth House and The Changeling. jim was fat and drunk throughout the recording of the record, and three months after it's release he was dead. Listen to his band's swansong this Thursday between 8 and 9pm on Phantom, interspersed with a rundown of the records history, recording and release.

    Ride the snake to the lake indeed.

    And yes, I haven't forgotten about The Cure or The The. I'm also working on Faith No More and the Beach Boys' "Smile" album that was never released. It's a matter of collating research material and doing a good job, so as soon as I'm happy with them they'll be broadcast. Thanks for your interest.

    Regards

    Which Cure ablum are you gonna do Rob ?
    My choice would be Head on the Door. Great line up, they just got Simon Gallup back in the band and it had two great singles in Inbetween Days and Close to Me.

    oh tell me when you're doing Smile. I love that godam album.

    The double-album re-releases ( or well, not re-releases, er) were a great idea. The Good Vibrations outtakes on Smiley Smile/Wild Honey are so cool. To be able to hear a song like that in its gestation is amazing.

    i do agree that Head on the door is a great album, but for me it would have to be Pornography...the album that (almost) broke them up...ok there's no hit singles on it but its more representative of The Cure for me....my guess though is that he will do Disentegration
