Waiting For The Sun
 

Waiting for the Sun  Recording of the group's third album in April 1968 was marred by tension as a result of Morrison's increasing dependence on alcohol and drugs, and the rejection of his new epic, "Celebration of the Lizard", by band producer Paul Rothchild, who deemed the work not commercial enough. Approaching the height of their popularity, The Doors played a series of outdoor shows that led to frenzied scenes between fans and police, particularly at Chicago Coliseum on May 10.

The band began to branch out from their initial form for this third LP. Because they had exhausted their original repertoire, they began writing new material. Waiting for the Sun became their first No. 1 LP, and the single "Hello, I Love You" was their second and last US No. 1 single. With the 1968 release of "Hello, I Love You", the rock press pointed out the song's resemblance to The Kinks' 1964 hit, "All Day and All of the Night". Kinks guitarist Dave Davies was particularly irritated by the similarity.[ In concert, Morrison was occasionally dismissive of the song, leaving the vocal chores to Manzarek, as can be seen in the documentary The Doors are Open

Mint /MT: I do not use this,only because it would be conjecture based on the eye of the beholder.

Near Mint /NM: Looks and sounds like a new record.They may have slight minimal imperfections such as insignificant tiny marks: a hairline,sleeve wisp or a tiny scuff.

VG++: If NM was a 9.5 than this is a 9.0 Too good to be a VG+.
