Break On Through
In a watershed moment for Columbia Records, this soundtrack began the rapid climb of the company into the stratosphere of pop culture consciousness.
Produced by company president Goddard Lieberson, it sold five million copies and spent a staggering 480 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart. To place the album in an accurate historical perspective, it was the Thriller of its generation.
It is timeless music - due to the rich arrangements & performances - with the numbers encapsulating the musical for those who only have the album as the point of reference.
There are few albums that truly define the American music industry. This is certainly one which has space on that lofty mantel.
