September 2, 1965: The Doors cut their first demo. “We had our own acetate with six songs. Ray took it under his arm and he, Dorothy, and Jim slipped into their yellow bug. Ray shouted through the window that he would start shopping it around to the record companies over the next few days. Jim, having heard his voice on tape for the first time, was beaming from the backseat.” -John Densmore Photos courtesy of Getty Images. | The Doors
