Synopsis

Product Description
Repress of this 2004 release! The Golden Scarab is by far the best embodiment of the "Doors" by one of the three surviving members. Originally released in 1974,it features some incredible session players of the time including Larry Carlton on guitar and Tony Williams on Drums! Guests include amazingly Joe Walsh and Flo and Eddie!!! 8 classic tracks much sought after by Doors followers who are currently on a massive sellout worldwide tour at the moment [with the Cults Ian Astbury on Vocals] Critically acclaimed when first released in 1974, this reissue has been waited for long enough!

"Great CD by The Doors' Ray Manzarek however loads of noise I guess due to the transfer."

"I had this album when it was released, so, you can probably determine my age. Aside from that, this is truely a masterpiece of music, a fusion of different styles and textures. His lyrics take you on a great ride thru the mind of eastern, mystical thought and philosophy...."I want to take you on a ride in the solar boat".....to the "purpose of existence is"....it is all great fun to follow his story line. The music just makes this album soar!! Ray's organ is just blazing thru out. Some great guitar work, along with just fantastic percussion. And if you find the bonus tracks, or you find Ray's other album, The Whole Thing Started With Rock and Roll, Now It's Out of Control ( what a great title! ), there is a great track called Love It or Leave It, with some vocals from Flo and Eddy, that has an organ line straight from Light My Fire near the end.



I highly endorse the purchase of this CD. Ray Manzarek at his finest hour in his great career.
