Matrix Release

[wtd]

I don't know if anyone is following the Matrix thread on the LL. But apparently now they're not going to release the Matrix recording like they planned. From what I read is the original recorder sent some cassette tapes to Paul Rothchild wanting to know if he was interesting in releasing a live Door's album. Paul at the time said no, and apparently the tapes were in the Electra's vault all this time. This is where they got the songs for the 97 Box set. So the issue may be The Doors are afraid of being sued because they don't own the masters or they feel the masters would be the best quality for release so they want to wait. Quality doesn't matter to me, because the ones on the 97 box set sound great. Anyway, it makes me laugh that they can't even release something that has all ready been released. What a joke. Makes Jeff look like an idiot. Another promise broken. The only thing I found exciting is that the original taper at the Matrix club says he has 4 hours of recording from the Matrix of The Doors. So that means there probably lots of material we never heard before. Of course The Doors can't cut a simple deal with these people.

On another note, Dave(FF) got promoted to "Doors Archivist". Talk about putting the fox in the chicken pen. It would be interesting see how many dubs will be walking out of The Door's vault. That wouldn't be a bad thing if Dave would share with other Door's fans, unfortunately he is not that way.

Thats the 2nd time those cretins have made themselves look idiots on the Matrix issue....they spent months telling everyone that they were releasing it a few years back only to then announce that they did not actually have a copy to release.....and now this........what a bunch of fucking asswipes!!!
I was looking forward to that one........
4 hours.......sounds interesting.....lets hope someone gets hold of this soon..............my faith in BMA being anything better than the useless BMR just dissapeared forever.......
Have these fools not learned from the last Matrix fiasco and the plethora of out-takes that its better not to open your mouth about BMA forthcoming releases unless you actually have them to release......

Could be he's just is. He's gotta be the worst manager they could possibly hire.

If I had alot of unreleased stuff (that I recorded).. I'd make my own damn album.. better then the halfassed job bruce did on BYB and I'd sell em to you guys at cost of materials.

I put my Matrix project on hold because of the seemingly imminant release.. but it doesnt look like its going to happen now so... back to work. I'll be sure to share them with everyone here.. and noone at LL. :-)

Jeff doesn't seem like he really knows The Doors material very well at all for being their manager. He also makes releasing Door's music as this really hard thing to do. The Internet simplifies the whole process. They need to give it to somebody that has a brain who has vision and knows how to get things done.

He'd promise to and end up using a plastic bag..... and then accidently suffocate himself.
