Well, I’ll tell you Bill, I certainly listened to that first record (remember a party at which it & the new Stones album were played over & over all night).
But, have to confess that despite some songs, & the playing, I kept listening to, among others, the Stones, & just did not to The Doors. What lasts, for each of us: as I say, a matter of taste…
