Details: Amazon.ca This was the album which was due to feature « Celebration Of The Lizard »–Jim Morrison’s eagerly-awaited 10-minute poem written in tribute to said sexy reptile. Alas though, it wasn’t to be. Instead they inserted less ambitious oldie « Hello I Love You » at the last minute and hoped that no-one would mind. Unsurprisingly, it sticks out like a sore thumb on a set which represents the peak of Jim Morrison’s belief that he was some kind of leather-trousered shaman. Were this not a 60s rock group, such acts of narcotic delusion might signal disaster. Narcotic delusion though, was what 60s rock groups did best–and here’s an album full of it: the elegiac piano inflections that frame « Yes The River Knows »; the warped, disembodied « Not To Touch The Earth » and that oft-overlooked pagan sea-shanty « My Wild Love ». Indeed, only « The Unknown Soldier » and « Five To One » serve to remind the listener that this was an album recorded at the peak of the Vietnam war–the latter lyric, of course, spawning the title of Morrison’s best-selling biography No-One Here Gets Out Alive. –Peter Paphides Product description Waiting For The Sun CD Elektra, 7559-74024-2, 1968, 11 Track
