"Cette notice a pour ambition de décupler votre plaisir d’écoute du premier album et chef-d’œuvre des Doors, publié en janvier 1967. Les analyses de chacune de ses 11 plages s'appuient sur des sources soigneusement recoupées. Elles abordent en premier lieu les textes – majeurs chez les Doors ! – puis l'interprétation musicale par les quatre membres du groupe. Ramassé et compact, ce livret vous évitera de vous disperser sur le web tout en écoutant l’album : c'est un véritable « tout-en-un » qui vous est ici proposé, riche en découvertes."
