The Doors’ fourth studio album, ‘The Soft Parade’, became the band’s fourth straight top ten album when it was released. Despite featuring one of the group’s biggest hits, ‘Touch Me’, it remains the most polarising record of The Doors’ career, thanks to the brass and string arrangements that embellish several tracks.

The Doors fifth studio album, Morrison Hotel, will be reissued in October for its 50th anniversary.

The goodies are all on the bonus CD with more than an hour of unreleased recordings taken from the sessions for Morrison Hotel.

Botnick says: “There are many takes, different arrangements, false starts, and insightful studio conversations between the band – who were in the studio – and producer Paul Rothchild – who was in the control room. It’s like being a fly on the wall.”

When The Doors’ first album hit the transatlantic counterculture of the late ’60s, their music seemed like an unprecedented trip into Bacchanalian excess and shamanic intensity, yet little material has arisen of the embryonic period that led to this psychic watershed – enter this recording of one of their earliest gigs in the titular Los Angeles venue, on which, thanks to audience member Nettie Pena’s reel-to-reel recording device, we can now witness a seemingly unbothered crowd chat and clink glasses as rock iconography emerges thrillingly before their bleary eyes and ears. From gutsy blues standards to a spooky early take on ‘Strange Days’.

The final album with Jim Morrison in the lineup is by far their most blues-oriented, and the singer’s poetic ardor is undiminished, though his voice sounds increasingly worn and craggy on some numbers. Actually, some of the straight blues items sound kind of turgid, but that’s more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, jazzy “Riders on the Storm,” was the group at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier “Love Her Madly” were hit singles, and “The Changeling” and “L’America” count as some of their better little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet.

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles, California. The 1967 release of The Doors was the first in a series of top ten albums in the US, followed by Strange Days (1967), Waiting for the Sun (1968), The Soft Parade (1969), Morrison Hotel (1970), Absolutely Live (1970) and L.A. Woman (1971), with 19 Gold, 14 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone. Although The Doors’ active career ended in 1973, their popularity has persisted. According to the RIAA, they have sold 32.5 million certified units in the US. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs. In 1993, The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A compilation of The Doors’ greatest live blues recordings both in the studio and on the stage. Featuring the never-before-released track “Paris Blues” and original artwork created for this release by Robby Krieger.

Released as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event, the main frisson here of this limited release (10,000 copies) is the last (apparently) unreleased studio recording by The Doors. Paris Blues was part of what Jim Morrison called the “blues day” that produced Cars Hiss By My Window, Crawling King Snake and L.A. Woman but stayed in the vault since neither Robby Krieger (“not a great tune”) nor the late Ray Manzarek (“nothing special”) deemed it worthy of rescue.
