There is nothing more valuable in these reviews than HONESTY. Thank you Mike.

I share your immense appreciation for The Doors. I'm an old guy and saw them live in New York City in the late 60s. I also have a large Doors collection including the AP double 45 and completely agree with your review of it. I was a bit skeptical about the UHQR since I have not had a good experience with other albums on it, even have sent some back. I have been following your channel and occasionally have ordered records from you and almost always agree with your opinion. This review has helped me decide to avoid it and I thank you very much for the details and your honesty. Thanks again Mike from the IN Groove.

Mike talking about The Doors - a match made in heaven!

[papoosee]

Finally. A real review. Instead of everyone pandering so they don’t lose their privileges to get promos.

[Luca-vgwp]

Appreciate the honesty, the ap 45 rpm is a holy grail and I bought it thanks to you.

Mike - from a fellow Doors fan like you, I love hearing you talk about your love for The Doors. They're a band that I feel still do not get the love and respect they truly deserve. No other band before or since has ever blended all the genres and musical/literary influences like The Doors did. Simply put; there will never be another band like The Doors.

Your knowledge and honest opinion is always refreshing

I was a senior when L A Woman came out!! It’s their best overall!! But I’m a doors fan who collects all of their stuff!! My first pressing Electra lp still sounds killer! That’s why most people love this album!! Killer production! Great work!! 🎉🎉

[Markymarkvinylnut]

Thanks Mike, I love the room your'e recording in. Looks cool

[kieronkelly]

Really appreciate your honesty which is rare these days on YouTube

I purchased the entire set of 6 Analogue Productions 45rpm Doors titles a couple years ago, when they all came back into stock at the same time. I don't regret that decision one bit. Fantastic, all of them.

That’s what I love about you Mike any other store owner will tell you it sounds amazing !! To sell more records. Thank you Mike for being honest.

Mike, your watch game...chef's kiss! I spied a white dial speedmaster in another video and I spy a bond seamaster here.

I'm all about these AP 45s. I'm not too lazy to change a record. Definitely sticking with the 45rpm. Amazing release. I am not interested in box sets or big box releases. I just don't have the room. But thinking of an album that desperately needs a 2 lp 45, Born In The USA. That album is crammed on a single vinyl. I'd love Springsteen catalog to get 45 treatment but especially that one.

Mike’s love of this LP and the details of it as he outlined here, especially regarding the instrumentation, certainly represents a more engaging and expectant perspective, only enhanced by the awesome system he has at his disposal. Although my experience didn’t discern some of the larger gaps Mike identified in his mind, I certainly agree the 2x45 is a fabulous sounding work, especially for $60. As always, different people/hearing, different equipment and different rooms make a difference. Add to that “different expectations” when we know a record as well as Mike knows LA Woman. Thanks Mike as I will now listen more intently for some of those well explained instrumental marvels you pointed out in this video!

[ginovairo]

I love this record too but not as passionately as you by the looks of it! I have both the AP UHQR and the 45. The 45 is excellent and and to me sounds brighter and more “HiFi”. After a few listens going back and forwards between them, I must say I do prefer to listen to the UHQR which really draws me in to the performance. To me, it’s more engaging and the presentation especially with Jim’s vocals and the separation of the instruments is more organic and musical. They are clearly different and preferences will vary between individuals I think.

terrific video. Thoroughness through the roof

[audiotomb]

Thanks Mike as always. I bought all the Doors AS 45 rpms when they came out - fantastic. Whenever I have people over - one of the songs I like to start out the evening with is Rider’s On The Storm. Absolutely demo quality. Love when the thunder clap culminates, a brief pause then the music starts up again. Gets me every time. The RSD is a nice spin. Looks like I’lll give it another spin tonight, thank you

I did double dip on the Bill Evans UHQRs and they do nuance things - although if you have the AP box you are there

[dajmasta]

11:00 to hear him talk about the sound of the UHQR

[junkyardvinyl]

Nice picture of you with Ray and Robbie. You are correct in that Ray was definitely the Sound of the Doors. As you Doors was my number one as band with Jimi Hendrix as a solo.
