The End

Ahead of the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison’s death this coming Saturday, we pay tribute to the Lizard King with his mural that adorns the wall going downstairs to the vinyl record section of Missing Records. Movie & Music Store underneath Glasgow Central Station's Hielanman's Umbrella.

 

Few bands captured apocalyptic dread better than the Doors. Like a psychedelic mist rolling in from the sea, my favourite song is The End, which fittingly concludes the band’s 1967 self-titled debut LP, shrouding the album with nearly 12 minutes of droning Ray Manzarek funeral organ, tangled guitar, and Morrison’s fire-and-brimstone incantations.

 

Quite a prophetic debut song and album title for things to come, I guess, with Jimbo's infamously early 'Club 27' checkout on July 3, 1971.
