Who brought the record to Jim Morrison's father?

This sentence, added in 2010 by RonBurgundy3, is not supported by the provided citation, which doesn't mention who brought the record. Despite this, several online media outlets, some of dubious reliability, have repeated this sentence without verification; all the sources I could find were published after 2010.

A reliable source published before 2010 should be added, or the sentence regarding who brought the album to his father should be removed, per WP:CIRCULAR. Thibaut (talk) 10:43, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Someone on frwiki found a reliable source, I have added it here. Thibaut (talk) 13:53, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
