"I can cut to the chase that of the three — the UHQR, the Analogue Productions 45 and the original, I like the UHQR best and the reasons for that are quite interesting. So the UHQR sounds a lot closer to the original than the Analogue Productions 45 RPM one does … it’s just that power and immediacy and absolutely on it in a Time sense that is unparalleled on the UHQR." — Dave Denyer, YouTube video

 

Across the robust Doors discography, there is no better candidate for a UHQR treatment than the band’s sixth studio album, L.A.Woman.

 

Flawless is the only way to describe these limited edition 200-gram vinyl reissues. Featuring mastering by the legend, Bernie Grundman, from the original analog tape, and custom-pressing at Quality Record Pressings, these beauties are created using Clarity Vinyl, for the purest sound and most visually stunning presentation. Every UHQR will be hand inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless will be allowed to go to market. Each UHQR will be packaged in a deluxe box and will include a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection.

 

In addition, we’ve meticulously recreated the die-cut directy-to-board jacket from the original L.A.Woman release. Plus, we’re including an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Ben Fong-Torres.

 

The title track is “maybe the best Chuck Berry riffs since the Stones” said one reviewer. And that’s not even mentioning “Love Her Madly,” which became one of the highest charting hits for The Doors.

 

“Love Her Madly,” was written by Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger, whose inspiration came from passionate arguments with his girlfriend and future wife, Lynn. The song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart  and reached No. 3 in Canada.

 

Via such tracks as "The Changeling," "Crawling King Snake," and the frothy, rollicking title track, the collection leaned heavily toward the Blues — in particular, Morrison’s boastful "Lizard King" brand of it. All-in-all, Rolling Stone proclaimed L.A.Woman, "The Doors’ greatest album" and "A landmark worthy of dancing in the streets."

 

A landmark indeed, now a landmark production on Analogue Productions UHQR Clarity Vinyl!
