Box
Set
The seminal American rock
band, The Doors, are readying for release one of the
most integral and comprehensive Box sets ever produced. This
special project, nearly three years in the making, captures
the spirit of innovation that defined the groundbreaking band,
preserving that legacy with more than three hours of music.
The Box Set will include a sixty page booklet which will contain
almost 80 rare and unpublished photos as well as a track by
track commentary written by the bandmembers themselves. The
members of The Doors, Ray Manzarek, Robby Kreiger and
John Densmore are currently putting the finishing touches
on the long awaited collection, to be released in the fall
of 1997, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the legendary
group.
Sure to be the crowning jewel
of the enduring Doors catalogue, the Box set is being co-produced
by The Doors and their long time engineer/producer
Bruce Botnick. It will contain 4 CD's, at least 3 of which
will include never before heard material from The Doors/Elektra
Entertainment Group vaults.
The songs included in the
Box set were culled from over 40 hours of music, catalogued
by recently deceased producer Paul Rothchild. The Box set
will also include a special, previously unfinished track,
"Orange County Suite," which features a never before
heard recording of Jim Morrison on lead vocal accompanying
himself on the piano. The remaining members of The Doors
are currently recording new music to complete the recently
discovered gem, a song that Morrison wrote for his soulmate,
Pamela Courson.
The expansive Box set will
trace the band's entire career, from their first demo recorded
in 1965, to their final recorded concert, performed at the
Isle of Wight in 1970.
