Waiting For The Sun, The Doors' third album and its first chart-topper, delivered the No.1 signature smash "Hello, I Love You" and the Top 40 hit "The Unknown Soldier."
After Strange Days, the expectations of fans and critics were high. With their third album from 1968, the Doors landed their first chart hit, Waiting for the Sun reached number 1 in the charts. The song material was friendlier and included ballads such as Love Street, Summer's Almost Gone, and Yes, The River Knows. But the combative-political The Unknown Soldier is also included on the album, a statement against the war, a reaction to the fighting in Vietnam.
By the way, Waiting for the Sun is not to be confused with the song of the same name. This can be found on the album Morrison Hotel.
Slant Magazine proclaims that Waiting For The Sun contains some of The Doors' prettiest, most genial lilts: "Love Street", a fictionalized sketch of the Bohemian street where Morrison lived with his wife, Pamela Courson; the wistful "Summer's Almost Gone", which includes the lovely refrain, "Morning found us calmly unaware/Noon burned gold into our hair"; and the placid piano ballad "Yes, The River Knows". More and more, says Slant, Morrison was starting to emulate one of his idols, Frank Sinatra - "after all, they had an insatiable taste for women and alcohol in common."
Waiting For The Sun was also some of The Doors' most combative, political work. "The Unknown Soldier" was a barefaced antiwar attack, a reaction to the Vietnam-era hostilities brewing on the home front.
Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings are proud to announce that six studio LP titles - The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman - are featured on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at 45 rpm. Also, all six titles are available on Multichannel SACD! All were cut from the original analog masters by Doug Sax, with the exception of The Doors, which was made from the best tape copy.
A truly authentic reissue project, the masters were recorded on tube equipment, and the tape machine used for the transfer of these releases is a tube machine, as is the cutting system. Tubes baby!
This is no time to wallow in the mire. The Doors are on Analogue Productions!
