THE DOORS
The Doors Vinyl Box (Limited Edition)
Released March 2008
Say “Hello, I Love You” to THE DOORS VINYL BOX, the ultimate Doors collectible. Cloaked in faux lizard skin, Rhino's limited edition, seven-disc boxed set contains 12” 180-gram HQ virgin vinyl reissues of the original stereo mixes of the legendary band's six Jim Morrison-fronted studio albums plus a second version of their revolutionary 1967 debut LP pressed in mono. The deluxe box presents the now-historic albums - all originally released between 1967 and 1970 - as replicas of their initial vinyl offerings, including artwork and inner sleeves. The set is capped at 12,500 individually numbered copies worldwide.
The lacquers for this special project were cut at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, CA under the direct supervision of original Doors producer/engineer Bruce Botnick and Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman. THE DOORS VINYL BOX was also produced in cooperation with surviving band members John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek.
Included are:
The Doors (1967, presented in both stereo and mono vinyl 12” discs)
Strange Days (1967)
Waiting For The Sun (1968)
The Soft Parade (1969)
Morrison Hotel (1970)
L.A. Woman (1971)
Bonus 7" single Light My Fire
With a lizard skin exterior and the Lizard King and company's classic recordings inside, sounding stellar on 180-gram HQ virgin vinyl, THE DOORS VINYL BOX is a limited edition treasure for Doors collectors. It continues Rhino's 40th anniversary celebration of the iconic band's legacy, which began in 2007 - four decades after the 1967 release of THE DOORS, one of rock's most famous and influential debuts.
Considering the amount of media lines The Doors have given to the 'Oliver Stoning' of Jim Morrison and how they were supposed to be setting the record straight I do find it a tad hypocritical that this box set has a Lizard Skin exterior........don't The Doors find it slightly ironic that they themselves do more than anyone to sully the name of Jim Morrison who himself made the point that it was not really meant to be taken seriously.......but I guess when you are flogging 40 years of The Doors and the money needs to be brought in none of that really matters....another grubby money making excercise from three people who talk a lot about the real Jim Morrison but do little to ever clue us in as to what he was really like.
