VVinyl Box Set [LP] by Doors (The) (Vinyl, Sep-2007)UNOPENED-SEALED-INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED 03211/12500 - HQ-180 LP PREMIUM VINYL PRESSING. FAUX BLACK SNAKE SKIN BOX (OR IS IT LIZARD???)
The individual album covers are exact copies of the original album covers, possibly digital photos of the originals. The color is too dark on a few of them but I'm being picky here. They aren't as heavy as the originals, but they need to be lighter to fit into a box set. The inner sleeves are quality static-free sleeves. As a nice touch they included reproductions of the original paper sleeves over the static-free ones. They even made the LA Woman album cover with the clear front and yellow sleeve inside. They only missed one tiny detail: The original Waiting For the Sun cover had the slot on the left so the record would be inserted from the inside of the cover instead of on the right.

They spent well over a year cleaning up the tapes to ensure this will be the definitive pressing of these historic albums. Jac Holzman (the founder of Elektra Records) and Bruce Botnick (the original Doors producer) have been hard at work in the studio. With the assistance of Mastering Engineer Bernie Grundman (who actually mastered the original albums and still has all of his original mastering notes!), they have transferred the original analog master tapes through Grundman’s all-tube console and all-tube cutting lathe. All the parties concerned with this project (and they are all taking it very seriously!) feel that this approach has allowed them to get the very best sound transferred to the lacquers. 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.
This is an obvious must-have for any fan of The Doors. And how could you not be a fan of The Doors?
