The Classic Album at Midnight – The Doors’ L.A. Woman
- by Eric Hillis
Tonight (January 3rd) on the world famous Classic Album at Midnight on Radio Nova we’re playing The Doors’ L.A. Woman.
The album is presented in full with no commercials or interruptions.
The late 1960s was a tumultuous time for The Doors. They had become critically and commercially successful only to find their work disrupted by frontman Jim Morrison’s charge of indecent exposure and profanity at a Miami concert in 1969. In September 1970 Morrison was convicted following a 16 day trial. He was sentenced to six months in prison but was able to remain free on a $50,000 bond.
With the trial over, Morrison joined up with the group and entered Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound Recorders studio to begin work on a new album in November 1970.
