6CD/6DVD Boxed set celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary band: All their Jim Morrison-Era studio albums reissued in deluxe 2-disc editions with rare & previously unreleased bonus material, 5.1 mixes, bonus video content, and more!
Ok, A few people have written informative reviews on this box set based on previous recordings and releases who know and love the band like me, but for the people which do not know this should: THIS IS NOT THE 1ST RELEASE OF ALL THE DOORS ALBUMS IN 1 BOX! I have The Complete Studio Recordings Box Set (Which is not all the albums, only the ones with Jim Morrison, meaning leaving out Other Voices and Full Circle)and this Box Set is kind of competing against that box set since it includes the exact same album listing in that box, except THIS BOX has an extra DVD for each album for the 5.1 Surround Mix, which judging by the other reviews does not sound that good anyway for Surround Sound, and also includes a few alternate versions of tracks as well. The Other Box Set that most are familiar with is the Doors Box Set, which really is 4 Cd's all of rare and mostly live material (and that Box is not competing with this one in any form). Now that you know that... COMPARING THIS BOX SET TO THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS BOX SET PROS: +INCLUDES Alternate Versions of some songs that are previously unrealesed +INCLUDES "Celebration of The Lizard" in Stereo, which I can't think of one release that has that song in Stereo instead of Live, (which is also not included at all in the Complete Recordings Box Set) CONS: -5.1 Surround Sound DVD's are not as good as one may think. -VERY PRICY (Almost Double the Price comparing to the Complete Recordings Box Set). Only DESCENT PRICE if you WANT EVERYTHING HERE, not JUST THE DVD'S OR JUST THE ALBUMS, Only good buy for both -Does NOT INCLUDE MOST OF THE SONGS FROM THE BONUS DISC called "Essential Rarities", which is included in the Complete Recordings Box Set, however, you can also buy seperate if you want to, which I recommend. -Also, if you are looking for some great footage of the Doors on DVD and have none, get the "Doors Collection" DVD, that shows the best concert footage and films of them. So I would still suggest the Complete Recordings Box Set over this because of the price, and because the DVD's are not as good as they might seem. This should sum up the general questions about this box set that you should have, specific questions look at other reviews...
