Legacy: The Absolute Best
Legacy: The Absolute Best is a two-disc compilation album by American rock band the Doors, released in 2003. This compilation includes the uncensored versions of both "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" (with the lyrics "she gets high" restored) and "The End" (with Morrison's liberal use of the word "fuck" during the song's interlude). Also included is a previously unreleased studio version of Morrison's epic poetry piece "Celebration of the Lizard," a rehearsal outtake from the band's Waiting for the Sun sessions.
