Ray Manzarek : Golden Scarab
Golden Scarab
cdlem31

Originally released in 1974, "Golden Scarab" is by far the best embodiment of The Doors, featuring one of the three surviving members. It also features some incredible session players of the time including Larry Carlton on guitar and Tony Williams on Drums! Guests also include Joe Walsh and Flo and Eddie!!!

Comprising of 8 classic tracks this album is much sought after by Doors followers (who are currently on a massive sell-out worldwide tour at the moment, with The Cult's Ian Astbury on Vocals). Critically acclaimed when first released, this reissue has been waited for long enough!
