What was the name of The Doors' first album?

The Doors’ first album was titled The Doors. It was the band’s eponymous debut studio album, released by Elektra Records on January 4, 1967.

The album was recorded in August 1966 at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, with producer Paul A. Rothchild and engineer Bruce Botnick. Much of its material had been developed during The Doors’ live performances at Los Angeles clubs, especially the Whisky a Go Go. The record captured the group’s unusual blend of Ray Manzarek’s keyboards, Robby Krieger’s guitar, John Densmore’s jazz-influenced drumming and Jim Morrison’s dramatic vocals.

The Doors contains several of the band’s signature recordings, including “Break On Through (To the Other Side),” “Light My Fire” and “The End.” The album became a major commercial success after “Light My Fire” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is sometimes confused with Strange Days, the band’s second album, or Morrison Hotel, which arrived later in 1970. The title The Doors refers both to the band and to this landmark debut record.
