Comment
Trans World Pacific Studios was located on Third Street
and it was here for the first time that The Doors had ever
recorded in a studio. Aura Records had seen that the previous
single that Rick & The Ravens had released was not doing so well,
so rather than going to the expense of pressing another single
and watching it most likely fail, the record company had decided
to give The Doors free studio time. The Doors spent three hours
in the studio and recorded six demos. The owner for Trans World Pacific Studios
was Dick Bock who also produced the demo tapes for The Doors.

The demo tapes were recorded before Robby Krieger joined the band.
At that time, the group included Jim Morrison on vocals,
Ray Manzarek on vocals/piano, John Densmore on drums,
Rick Manzarek on guitar, Jim Manzarek on harmonica and
an unknown girl that was hired from a local group to play bass.
The only copies of these demo recordings were originally owned
by World Pacific Studios, John Densmore and Billy James who at
the time was a representative for Columbia Records.
