The Doors were an American psychedelic rock/blues rock band formed in July, 1965 in Los Angeles, CA. The band was founded by Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison. Following the death of Jim Morrison in 1971, the remaining members released two more albums but experienced limited success. In April 1973, the band ultimately disbanded. The Doors were later inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 1993.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

remastered with new advanced resolution stereo mixes, of the original album, plus three extra tracks and new in-depth liner notes by ben fong-torres. the final album with jim morrison in the lineup is by far their most blues-oriented, and the singer's poetic ardor is undiminished. the seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of los angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, jazzy 'riders on the storm,' was the group at its most melodic and ominous. it and the far bouncier 'love her madly' were hit singles, and 'the changeling' and 'l'america' count as some of their better little-heeded album tracks. an uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet. the album was released in 1971 shortly before morrison's mysterious death in paris.
