The Doors. Strange Days.

The Doors’ 1967’s ‘Strange Days’ reached gold status and hit number 3 on the Billboard Album chart. with an eerie backdrop provided by Ray Manzarek on organ duties, the quartet continued to explore the acid-rock frivolity of 1960’s California. Morrison’s ever obscure poetical lyricism lead to the creation of an album which has been hailed as one of the bands finest. the quirky ‘People Are Strange’ rubs shoulders with epic tracks such as ‘When The Music’s Over’ and ‘Moonlight Drive’ (which was in fact penned for their debut). A masterpiece which should be in every fans collection.

Strange Days is the second studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released on September 25, 1967 by Elektra Records, arriving eight months after their self-titled debut album. After the latter's successful release, the band started experimenting with both new and old material in early 1967 for their second record. Upon release, Strange Days reached number three on the US Billboard 200, and eventually earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It contains two Top 30 hit singles, "People Are Strange" and "Love Me Two Times".

Despite the album's failure to match the success of its predecessor, it was "arguably the one the band itself most appreciated musically and creatively", according to author David V. Moskowitz. Music journalist Stephen Davis considers Strange Days the best Doors album and "one of the great artifacts of the rock movement.
