The Doors had packed several lifetimes into just five years as a band, and by late 1970, the psychological toll of Jim Morrison's addictions and legal problems threatened to overwhelm the group. Any attempt to make an album under those conditions should, by rights, have ended in disaster, but on L.A. Woman - the last Doors LP released during Morrison's lifetime - the band succeeded almost despite themselves. Self-produced and recorded in their private rehearsal space, the album was a homecoming, musically and spiritually. "Our last record became like our first album: raw and simple," drummer John Densmore reflected in his autobiography. "It was as if we had come full circle. We were a garage band again, where rock & roll began."

Morrison left for an extended trip to Paris as the final mixes were being prepared, hoping to rediscover his muse in the City of Light. He would never return: the singer died there in July 1971.
