Fantastic!<br /><br />I started out trying to build a different album around CotL keep the "Waiting for the Sun" album separate. So I pulled Summertime and Woman is a Devil from the Matrix tapes to build an A side that's more jazzier/bluesy and showcasing Ray Manzarek, and then your edit of CotL and the Adagio from the WftS sessions for B side. That seemed a bit too short, so I tossed in Go Insane to pad out side A and the song Waiting for the Sun to change the pace and add some depth to side B. <br /><br /><br />Side A<br /><br />Summertime<br />Go Insane<br />Woman is a Devil/Rock Me Baby<br /><br />Side B<br /><br />Waiting for the Sun<br />Celebration of the Lizard<br />Adagio <br /><br />Brings it to about 41 minutes, somewhat eclectic, but I think it flows.<br /><br />I made my own cover too with a different photo from the WftS shoot. <br /><br />Blue Jinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434600279913185980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-52817262045770184712018-04-01T21:23:39.920-07:002018-04-01T21:23:39.920-07:00By all accounts, Waiting For The Sun evolved from—...By all accounts, Waiting For The Sun evolved from—or rather, ‘trickled down from’—two abandoned projects: American Nights and The Celebration Of The Lizard. One project appears to have focussed on jazzier, softer and more poppish material,while the other revolved around harder-edged and more experimental stuff. There is some indication that The Celebration Of The Lizard was originally intended to take not just an entire side, but an entire album. We’re talking Thick As A Brick or A Passion Play four or five years before Tull made such records a reality. I’m rather dubious of stories about Jac Holzman’s prepubescent son picking old demos to re-record; and cover tunes (e.g, ‘Gloria’, ‘Mack the Knife’) appear to have been confined to concert performances by the end of ’67. ‘Waiting for the Sun’ would definitely have been included on the harder project – being left off at the last moment to make room for the ‘Not to Touch the Earth’ segment of ‘Celebration’ according to most stories, the album cover and title having been already settled on. All of this considered, this is what a Waiting For The Sun 2-LP deluxe edition should look and sound like in 2018:<br /><br />Record One: American Nights<br /><br />A1. We Could Be So Good Together<br />A2. Love Street<br />A3. Indian Summer (1966 outtake)<br />A4. Summer’s Almost Gone<br />A5. Wintertime Love<br /><br />B1. Spanish Caravan<br />B2. My Wild Love<br />B3.Yes, The River Knows<br />B4. Adagio by Albinoni<br /><br />Record Two: The Celebration of The Lizard<br /><br />A1. Hello I Love You<br />A2. Waiting for the Sun<br />A3. The Unknown Soldier<br />A4. Five to One<br /><br />B1. The Celebration of The Lizard<br /><br />Short poems (a la ‘Horse Latitudes’ on Strange Days) may or may not have been intended to be recited without musical accompaniment between some or all of the numbers on at least one of these projects—stories vary. No poems are known to have been recorded during these sessions, although short pieces like ‘All Hail The American Night’, ‘The Dark Los Angeles Evening’ and fragments of ‘Far Arden’ definitely fit with the story. The jazzier project (Record One) was an obvious precursor to The Soft Parade album, and there is some indication that ‘Blue Sunday’ (Morrison Hotel) may have also been considered or intended for inclusion.

I'm almost positive that it's "Waiting For The Sun", and it is. But when googling it (I don't got the Vinyl for the time being. <br />And The 40th Aniversary-CD don't come with an authentic Cover re-print. <br />Those 40th aniv. CDs with the sloped corners are actually bit of a flop, as i see & hear'em. They don't sound....right, dig?) i stumbled into your Blog.

There was some talk over on the Doors Freedom Man Forum about putting in a request for a post-1971 Doors album with Morrison had he survived, with tracks from Other Voices, Full Circle, American Prayer, Golden Scarab, Jim Morrison's poetry, etc. Not sure if this request ever found its way to you or not. You think that is something you could pull off?<br /><br />Great blog by the way, working my way through your back catalogue as we speak. Keep up the good work bro!
