"…It's good. No, it's magnificent…If you love
the Doors and can still find a copy of this box set, buy it, no
matter what you have to pay." – Jeff Dorgay, Tone Audio,

WOW!
The ultimate Doors collectible: A limited-edition, seven-LP box
– covered in faux lizard skin – with 12" 180-gram
HQ vinyl reissues of the original stereo mixes of the band's six
Morrison-era studio albums PLUS a copy of their '67 debut album
in mono! All remastered by Bernie Grundman! And pressed at RTI!
The entire set has been personally supervised by Jac Holzman,
founder of Elektra Records and production supervisor of The Doors,
and Bruce Botnick, The Doors' engineer/co-producer/mixer for all
six studio albums. All albums are exact replicas of the original
releases, including all artwork, packaging, inner sleeves and
mixes.
The Doors' revolutionary self-titled 1967 debut LP – widely
regarded as one of rock music's most important debuts –
instantly heralded the arrival of an utterly original, and now
all-time legendary, band. Through five more groundbreaking studio
albums, the Doors were fronted by rock icon Jim Morrison as they
expanded the boundaries of contemporary music, performance art
and popular culture overall. Today, their impact looms as large
as ever, and Rhino continues its 40th anniversary of the group's
stunning debut with a deluxe vinyl box set certain to be a highly
prized and sought-after rarity. Only 12,500 were made worldwide.
This set is strictly limited to 12,500 copies! Please note that
when this set was first announced the record label misinformed
their distributors by claiming the set would be limited to 5,000
copies. That production run was increased due to their decision
to expand the offer to include the European market. We have been
assured that 12,500 is the final and accurate total for copies
to be pressed.
