Very Best Of (2cd) [Import] Music CD

Import version includes five tracks that are subbed out on the US edition, 'Bird of Prey (LP Version'), 'Orange County Suite', 'Runnin' Blue', 'Stoned Immaculate (LP Version)' and 'Whiskey, Mystics and Men' [Version #1]. The Very Best of The Doors (Double disc/34 tracks) cuts deeper into the band's studio albums with key songs that defined their sound including "Orange County Suite" "The W.A.S.P. (Texas Radio & the Big Beat)," "Five to One," "When the Music's Over," "Whiskey, Mystics And Men," plus the unedited version of "The End." Each track boasts a brand new mix supervised by The Doors and Bruce Botnick, the band's original engineer and producer. "We want our fans, both new and old, to hear what we discovered on listening to the actual multitrack recordings," says keyboard player Ray Manzarek. "There are background vocals by Jim Morrison, piano parts of mine that weren't used, and guitar stingers and solos by Robby Krieger that never made the original recordings that can now be heard for the first time. We used state-of-the-art techniques to bring these discs to the same sound quality we experienced in the studio when we initially recorded our songs. We invite all our fans to join US in this recreation of the legendary recording sessions of The Doors. And to be a part of our original conceptions." Also available as a 20 track single disc! Warner.
