A dark moody affair that electrifies as it emerges into vast unknown of rock territories in the late 60's headed by an on 'on the edge' Jim Morrison; the teaser, the poet, the stoned immacuate comet that burned across skies 40 light years away...as witnessed at the West Covina Theatre, January 19, '68, Jim leaning over taunting chicks in the front row to perform strange things on his body (..."S*ck me baby" ) and soon falling over his own sheepskin coat he had thrown to the floor where he continued to sing, sprawled flat on the floor ... The DOORS, from Los Angeles California ...
" Strange Days" partially consists of songs that did not make it onto their debut album, such as " Moonlight Drive", which was one of the first songs written by Jim Morrison for The Doors. The song was recorded in 1965 (demo) and 1966 (intended for their first album). In 1967 a final version was recorded and released on this album. Strange Days contains some of The Doors' most psychedelic songs. It includes songs such as "Strange Days", "People Are Strange", "Love Me Two Times" and " When the Music's Over". The latter is an epic poem that is comparable to the famous "The End".
The cover photo was taken in Sniffen Court, a small residential mews in New York City. Jim Morrison refused to appear on the cover, so photographer Joel Brodsky decided to use a circus-like photograph for the cover image. However, most carnivals were out on summer tours so it was a struggle for Brodsky to find professional circus performers. The acrobats were the only ones he could find; the dwarf Lester Janus and his younger brother Stanley Janus (who appeared on the back cover) were hired from an acting firm; the juggler was Brodsky's own assistant; the trumpet player was a taxi driver; and the strongman was a doorman at a club. On another note, the back cover depicts a robed woman standing in one of the house doorways looking down at one of the dwarf brothers. She has since been identified by People Magazine as the stylist of Joel Brodsky's wife, Zazel Lovén. In addition to this, the original idea for the front cover was a reflection of the group in a mirror which the dwarf's would carry. Jim Morrison stated that he did not want to be on the cover at all, so a poster of the band members was discretely shown on the right end of the sleeve.
