What recording studio was used for The Doors' debut album?

The Doors used Sunset Sound Recorders for their debut album.

The band recorded The Doors at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, California, during August 1966. The self-titled album was produced by Paul A. Rothchild and engineered by Bruce Botnick, whose work helped capture the group’s intense, tightly arranged club sound.

The sessions were remarkably quick, taking roughly a week and a half, or about nine days. Rather than radically reinventing the material, the recordings largely documented songs The Doors had developed through repeated performances on Los Angeles’s club circuit, especially at the Whisky a Go Go. That live preparation helped the band record with unusual economy.

The album was released by Elektra Records on January 4, 1967. It introduced signature tracks including “Break On Through (To the Other Side),” “Light My Fire,” “Soul Kitchen” and “The End.” The album’s studio is sometimes confused with Elektra’s own recording facilities, but the original sessions were made at Sunset Sound Recorders; later Doors albums used a mixture of studios.
