Product Description

"Waiting for the Sun" is the third studio album by The Doors, released on July 3, 1968, under the Rhino label. This classic rock masterpiece is a blend of psychedelic and acid rock elements, showcasing the band's unique sound and Jim Morrison's enigmatic vocals. Clocking in at just over 32 minutes, the album is a tight, energetic collection of tracks that highlight the band's early creativity and innovation.

The album opens with the iconic "Hello, I Love You," a catchy and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. "Love Street" and "Not to Touch the Earth" follow, with the latter showcasing the band's ability to create atmospheric, immersive soundscapes. "Summer's Almost Gone" and "Wintertime Love" offer a contrast, with their more straightforward rock 'n' roll feel.

"Waiting for the Sun" also includes some of The Doors' most politically charged songs, such as "The Unknown Soldier," which critiques the Vietnam War, and "Five to One," a powerful anthem about societal control and rebellion. The album closes with "Five to One," leaving the listener with a sense of the band's raw energy and uncompromising spirit.

Throughout the album, The Doors' signature blend of blues, rock, and psychedelia shines, with each member contributing to the band's unique sound. Ray Manzarek's organ work, Robby Krieger's guitar riffs, John Densmore's drumming, and Jim Morrison's poetic lyrics all come together to create a cohesive and captivating listening experience. "Waiting for the Sun" is a testament to The Doors' enduring influence on rock music and their ability to create timeless, thought-provoking songs.

This 2022 Reissue LP includes with booklet and insert, pressed on Green vinyl.

  • Reissue Delivers Dynamic Audio

    5 out of 5 stars
    naxidjokjezai10 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    Great reissue with simple packaging yet delivering impressive dynamic audio. By the by, I initially caught 'Five To One' on a bootleg live tape and adored it to the point of favoring it over the studio cut :)

  • Eerie Delightful Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    Cqelmirlal25 December 2025United States🇺🇸

  • Finding Flawless Copies Tough

    4 out of 5 stars
    KAqbutcuz21 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Has anyone else had trouble finding a good copy? I've bought four sealed ones now, from different shops - all had either no sound, small scratches that caused pops and/or dishing. The sound quality is incredible, but I'm having a tough time finding a copy without defects.

    The '68 Gold Label I've got is absolutely amazing! If you can't snag the Analogue Productions re-release, this is the one to grab.

  • Seeking Details on Variant

    4 out of 5 stars
    FRPLYD14 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    I couldn't locate this particular version anywhere on Discogs, though I might have overlooked it. It's not rare, as there are several sales of this variant on Popsike. I'm sharing this in the hope of gathering more details about it.
