Pretty good write up here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Days_%28album%29

Because I loved The Doors / The Doors, bought Strange Days shortly after it was issued. Suggest you listen to the songs via utoob and / or other sources, ie library CD. $35 is a lot to spend on an album you may not like.

Try purchasing used LP and if you really really like it, go for the RTI reissue. For that amount, you can probably purchase the entire Doors LPs used.... :shock:

Good luck.

Not around here, even in reissue pressings. In my area, $12-$15 price tags for 1980's near mint reissues are common. Per LP. When the shop gets nice copies. And usually they sell fast too.

the main attraction is the last track, 11 minutes, "When the music's over". The title song Strange Days is good, and there are four or five other good tracks, this is early Doors, 1967, very fine writing singing and performing. Give a listen to When the music's over, if you are spell bound, buy the album.

Isn't it..... =D> =D> :) :)

The album format is very much like The Doors with "The End" as the signature piece..... :-k

Please share comments on the RTI pressing.
