Morrison Hotel is the fifth studio album by the American rock band The Doors, released on February 9, 1970. (51 years ago today)
Work on the disc began in the fall of 1969. At the same time, material was being collected for a concert collection, the need for the release of which was insisted by the record company Elektra, discouraged by the failure of the previous disc The Soft Parade. On the front cover of the album - a photo of the band through glass in the background of the Morrison Hotel, which actually existed in Los Angeles, on the back - a photo of a diner called "Hard Rock Cafe" (this name was later used by the famous chain of restaurants Hard Rock Cafe)
