Notes

This is the first pressing of this single. Elektra quickly ended this style, possibly because the Doors' records were selling so well the company had money to revamp the label. This is obvious from the release of Love's 'My Little Red Book', which came out a year earlier and was never pressed with the white, later Elektra labels. It's very rare to see this single on the yellow and black Elektra label. The same situation exists with their earlier release, 'Break On Through to the Other Side'. I bought these records when they first came out, before Elektra even came up with the new design, which would have been late 1967.
