·       UNIQUE MONO MIX WITH RARE UNCENSORED LYRICS ON "THE END"

 

·       PLEASE NOTE: there appears to be a controversy as to what is censored or uncensored on this album. Namely, there are two segments on this album which are partially or completely uncensored (both, of course, on "The End"). The first one is the one where Jim Morrison announces his libidinal intentions to his mother. This section was NEVER completely "uncensored". Even the loudest mono pressing has this section partially obscured by Morrison's primal scream. Still, on the mono pressing, after a few listens, the Morrison's F-bomb can be clearly discerned (on the stereo copy, you can't hear this no matter how hard you try). The second section is unequivocally, unambiguously and totally uncensored and consists of series of loud "f**k" yelps during the climax of the song, at the closing minute or minute and a half before the song's ending. Neither segment was available or audible on the stereo version of the album until the 2007 40th Anniversary CD remasters
