Originally released in 1972, Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine was one of the earliest “best-of” Doors collections, compiling 22 tracks from the band not just limited to their many ubiquitous hits but including some more experimental tunes and a few obscure B-sides. This strange and sprawling playlist is heavy on material from L.A. Woman, and seems particularly invested in the darker, more sinister side of the band. Lesser-known songs here include “Who Scared You” and the goofy, awkward blues run “(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further” sung by keyboardist Ray Manzarek. With the exception of a few pop moments, this lengthy collection sets a heavy and sometimes menacing mood, highlighting the Doors' most depraved, shamanistic moments in tracks like the brooding “The End,” “Maggie McGill,” and the absolutely evil groove of “When the Music's Over.”
