JANUARY 4, 1967 – The Doors released their self-titled debut album “The Doors”, although the album was available in various record stores in New York City as early as the third week in December 1966 as part of a special promotion. It was originally released in different stereo and mono mixes, and features the breakthrough single “Light My Fire” extended with an instrumental section mostly omitted on the single release, and the lengthy song “The End” with its Oedipal spoken word section. The Doors credit the success of the album to being able to work the songs out night after night at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood California,and the London Fog nightclubs. Unique packaging of the album included each band members bio.
