The Doors : Waiting For The Sun
Waiting for the Sun
is the third
studio album
by the
American rock band
The Doors
recorded from
February to May 1968
and released in
July 1968.
It became the band's
first and only No. 1 album,
spawning their
second US
number one single,
"Hello, I Love You".
It also became the band's
first hit album
in the UK,
where it peaked at
No. 16 on the chart.
The recording of
Waiting for the Sun
was difficult for the band.
They had used up
Morrison's original songbook,
a collection of
lyrics and ideas,
for their first
two albums.
Consequently,
after months of touring,
interviews,
and
television appearances
they had little new material.
To compensate
a longer piece called
"The Celebration of the Lizard,"
a collection of song fragments
held together by
Morrison's often surreal poetry.
When they failed to
make progress,
the band and producer
Paul A. Rothchild
abandoned the recording.
The group would revisit it later
in its full-length form
on their 1970 album
Absolutely Live.
Rothchild's
growing perfectionism
was also becoming an
issue for the band;
each song on the album
required at least
twenty takes
and
"The Unknown Soldier",
recorded in two parts,
took 130 takes
