The+doors

This essential four disc collection contains nearly four and a half hours of music, with three hours of previously unreleased material, including demos, live track and one brand new song with vocals recorded by Jim Morrison in 1970…

All told, it's an excellent document of their early days that's strongly recommended to Doors fans.

Despite the bald-faced references to bootlegs in the title, this is a totally legit four-CD box set release of live 1967-1970 Doors from numerous shows, all of it previously unissued…

Japanese original release. Special box set release from The Doors contains 28 tracks total, including 17 ones available as CD format for the first time. EP covers faithfully replicate the ones released from Victor from 1967 to 1972.

For the first 17 years of their history, the only official live Doors album was Absolutely Live, which had its virtues – especially as it captured elements of their harder, more ambitious repertoire – but also left more casual fans rather cold, owing to the absence of any of their biggest hits. Alive, She Cried helped solve that problem, including as it did a concert version of "Light My Fire" and also adding a legendary concert piece – their rendition of Van Morrison's mid-'60s Them-era classic "Gloria" – to the Doors' official Elektra Records discography…

In Concert is the successor CD set to the individual releases of Absolutely Live (which remains in print as a single CD), Alive, She Cried, and Live at the Hollywood Bowl – as none of them presented more than a single angle or two of the group's sound and each confined itself to only a portion of the group's repertoire, the three-in-one release makes perfect sense and is a decent bargain…

More than 30 years after the death of Jim Morrison, interest in The Doors is as strong as ever. They have been the posthumous subject of both a best-selling biography and a cinema film. 'Maximum Doors' presents the complete and unauthorised audio-biography of this ground-breaking quartet from their earliest days, through their rise to fame and enormous success, to the death of Morrison in Paris and the demise of the band. A perfect addition to every Doors fan's collection.
