[SEAWOLF97]

Wow....I picked this CD up at la biblioteca ....as a long time Doors fan it was a revelation, super clean ...dont know who did the remaster, but it is nice.....if you listen closely, there is studio chatter that I'd never noticed , lead ins that were chopped for general release , even has the Apocalypse Now version of "The End" ....really dynamic , Densmores drums kick more realistically than I've ever heard, has incredible sustains (obviously shortened for the commercial release) a great buy at under $10 at Amazon ...a full 79 minutes ....I wud have sworn that it was SACD upon first hearing .....

LATER:

Rhino's celebration of the Doors' extraordinary and mind-bending catalog continues with THE FUTURE STARTS HERE: THE ESSENTIAL DOORS HITS, the definitive single-disc anthology of their classic hits and landmark tracks. The twenty songs featured boast sonically brilliant 40th Anniversary remixes by Bruce Botnick, the band's longtime engineer/producer - in many cases they include parts recorded during the original sessions that were left out of the initial Doors releases. The project, now the only single-disc Doors "best of" available, was produced under the supervision of surviving members John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek.
THE FUTURE STARTS HERE: THE ESSENTIAL DOORS HITS culls key tracks from all six of the now-classic studio albums the Doors recorded before Jim Morrison's death in 1971, beginning with their historic 1967 self-titled debut. That LP, whose four-decade mark in 2007 ignited Rhino's landmark Doors 40th Anniversary catalog restoration and expansion, is #42 on Rolling Stone's salute to the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." Two other seminal Doors albums, L.A. Woman and Strange Days, also make the list, ranking #362 and #407, respectively.
Among this new compilation's highlights are the band's #1 hits "Light My Fire" and "Hello I Love You," plus the #3 single "Touch Me." Also featured are signature songs including "Break On Through (To The Other Side)," "Riders On The Storm," "L.A. Woman," "Roadhouse Blues," "Love Me Two Times," "People Are Strange," "Love Street" and the edit version of "The End" from the legendary film Apocalypse Now. So, beautiful friends and Doors fans old and new, revelatory new mixes of these and other essential tracks mark the beginning of a new era of appreciation for some of the greatest rock 'n' roll ever recorded.
