Talk:The Doors discography

Box Sets?
I'll add a new category (Box Sets), because a) they are not really albums, and b) there are a lot of them, k? 128.214.133.2 (talk) 09:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

"THE MOSQUITO" hit single
Isnt the song "The Mosquito" a hit single like in the hot 100, #78 in 1972. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.110.200 (talk) 23:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC) The mosquito is was the #85 hit in 1972 on the Billboard hot 100 I checked on "The Billboard Annual book" I got from the library.

WHO DELETED SO MANY SINGLES? LIKE IT OR NOT - WISHFUL SINFUL, RUNNIN BLUE, TELL ALL THE PEOPLE, TIGHTROPE RIDE AND THE 198? RELEASE OF THE LIVE GLORIA WERE ALL BILLBOARD HITS, SO WHY HAVE THEY BEEN DELETED?????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.107.63.18 (talk) 13:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Doors Demos
There seems to be incessant edit warring coming from Italy regarding the band "Doors Origins That Recorded Acetate", plus a release by this non-existant 'band' called, you guessed it, "Doors Origins Original Acetate Demo Album". Or something of that ilk. No such release exists. In fact, no such band exists. I removed it (again); I expect it to reappear (again) within a day or two. Instead of endlessly inserting a non-existing "album" by a non-existing "band", why not discuss the issue? There are Italian-English online translators out there, if needed. 93.41.33.117 (talk) 21:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The Doors Original Acetate Demos
The Doors Original Acetate Demos is the first studio recording of the American rock band The Doors. It was recorded on September 2, 1965 at World Pacific Jazz Studio is Los Angeles, California, during studio free time that came from a trade-off on an Aura Records deal with Rick & the Ravens (the name of the band before it became The Doors). These are The Doors' original demos that they recorded before being signed to Elektra. The six songs on the demo are all Morrison originals. The band immediately begins to locally shop the demos around after the three hour session. Jim is delighted after hearing his voice on a record for the first time. |93.41.33.117 (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * "Moonlight Drive"
 * "Hello I Love You"
 * "Summers Almost Gone"
 * "My Eyes Have Seen You"
 * "End of The Night"
 * "Go Insane (A Little Game)"


 * Yes, we all know the above. In fact, the majority of bands record demo songs before they get signed to a label. This has nothing to do with the released discography of any band. There exists no such album. I do not know how to make this any more clearer, so I am going to repeat it one more time. There exists no such album. You can re-edit the article as much as you want, it will not change the fact there exists no such album. It does not exist. Changing the article will not make it magically appear, either. It was never released, since it does not exist. Yes, they recorded the songs. No, it is not an album. Yes, it was a studio recording. No, it is not a released album. It is not. Please stop inserting it as an "album" into the article, primarily because it really is not an album. Really, it is not. (By the way; the band that recorded the songs was still called Rick & the Ravens, by the way. At Morrison's behest they changed their name to the Doors mid-October 1965, just prior to Krieger joining the line-up. They did not change their name prior to recording the demo songs.) 128.214.133.2 (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Break On Through (To the Other Side) chart position
Per Whitburn, "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" bubbled under for one week (April 8, 1967) at #126. See Billboard magazine. Piriczki (talk) 16:17, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0RW73BdHc in the documentary DVD ''When you're Strange Part 2, minute 8:46 features the following credits the Single Peak chart positions in the United States 106. Daria Montella (talk) 15:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, inaccurate information regarding the chart position of "Break On Through" was published in the book Break On Through: The Life and Death of Jim Morrison where it describes the single "stalling out at 106 in Billboard." The error was repeated in subsequent Doors-related books and in the film When You're Strange, all of which use similar language referring to the record stalling or stalled out at 106. The appropriate publication to cite as a source for Billboard chart information is Billboard magazine. As cited above in Billboard, and confirmed by Whitburn's Bubbling Under Singles & Albums, "Break On Through" peaked at 126, not 106. Piriczki (talk) 14:28, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0RW73BdHc in the documentary DVD ''When you're Strange Part 2, minute 8:46 features the following credits the Single Peak chart positions in the United States 106. The Documentary include producers Dick Wolf, John Beug, Jeff Jampol, and Peter Jankowski. The documentary first screened at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 2009. It received somewhat favorable reviews from that showing, however the narration (by director DiCillo) was singled out by most viewers as very seriously flawed for its monotonic delivery. Due to the rash of complaints about the narration, Johnny Depp was hired to redub it. A few months later, DiCillo pronounced the film "just about locked", and announced that there would be a showing of the new "redux" version. It debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival on Sunday, June 21, 2009. The completed film was also shown at the London Film Festival on October 16-18, 2009. The film was released in theaters on April 9, 2010, with a soundtrack release on April 6, 2010. It was released in Canada on April 15, 2010. PBS showed this film as part of its series American Masters on May 12, 2010. The film was released on DVD on June 29, 2010. In France the film, distributed by MK2, was released under its original title and received an excellent reception.The film is written and directed by Tom DiCillo (“Johnny Suede,” “Living in Oblivion”). Narrated by Johnny Depp. Overall Krieger felt ‘really happy’ about how the film has turned out, crediting in particular the editing work. The surviving members of the band decided not to get too involved in the project to try to get the right neutral balance that an outsider would try to achieve."

The film has been nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Nonfiction Series following its airing on American Masters on PBS. In December of 2010 the film was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Video. Subsequently, they won the award in February 2011. the documentary has been presented in the best mondial move in the world and under the superviour of Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and producted Dick Wolf, John Beug, Jeff Jampol, and Peter Jankowski. At the end it is impossible that production doesn't know that the single Break On Through has the position one hundred and six.Daria Montella (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, saw this on the Third Opinion page. I think the matter could be easily resolved if you could provide a reference for the existence of the error Piriczki - your claim is certainly supported here: http://www.jimmorrisonproject.com/songs/break-on-through-to-the-other-side.html although this isn't really a WP:RS.  MissionNPOVible (talk) 07:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I doubt there any references acknowledging the error and that would be an impossibly high standard to meet just to remove a simple error from Wikipedia. Any claim of a supposed Billboard chart position, from any source, which contradicts the actual chart published in Billboard can only be viewed as an error. I have provided a link to the page containing the chart in Billboard magazine dated April 8, 1967 (see Billboard magazine) and I provided an additional reference from the authoritive source on Billboard charts, Joel Whitburn (Whitburn, Joel. Bubbling Under Singles & Albums (1998): 66). I don't see how there could be any better verification of this information or how it could reasonably be disputed. Piriczki (talk) 12:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Piriczki, sorry, I wasn't as clear as I'd meant to be. I was only meaning to elicit the details you've now provided about Whitburn (as in page number). I'd say your version seems the most accurate, and could only now be displaced by an actual reference to a Billboard chart (which are available via Google books) showing a higher position - I've looked but not found one in 1967. Sorry for the confusion. MissionNPOVible (talk) 13:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh BTW it may be worth adding a note to the reference in the article explaining the discrepancy for interested readers. MissionNPOVible (talk) 13:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

 * If there's a discrepancy in versions (as is obviously the case here) then it would be easiest to include the details in a note. I don't think there's much to be gained about arguing over it further.  Given there is no support in the Billboard lists of 1967 for the #106 figure, I would suggest #126 appear in the article with an explanatory note about the #106 in other sources.  You could do it the other way round, but I think the weight of evidence so far (i.e. the Whitburn RS backed by the Billboard primary source) suggests the other sources are in error.

A mistake in the title of the B-Side of the single Love Her Madly
There is a mistake in the title of the single Love Her Madly (1971). It should be "Love Her Madly / (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further" and not "Love Her Madly / You Need Meat (Don't Go No Further)".
