A & B-sides gathered on CD with Quad mixes on bonus blu-ray audio
Rhino Records will release The Singles, in a new compilation that collects all 20 U.S. singles released by The Doors , and their corresponding B-sides. It will be available as a 2CD+blu-ray package, a 2CD set without the blu-ray and a seven-inch box set will also be made available.
The 44-track collection includes the rare, original single versions of such classics as, Love Me Two Times, Love Her Madly, Riders On The Storm and many more. With collectors in mind, the CDs will also feature four original mono radio versions of some of the hits. These have never been made available anywhere after being sent to radio stations at the time of their original release.
All tracks have been mastered from the original analog single masters by the band’s longtime engineer Bruce Botnick.
The Blu-ray disc that accompanies the ‘deluxe’ three-disc version features the original hi-res Quadraphonic mix of 1973 compilation The Best Of The Doors. This 11-song compilation was released on SACD by Audio Fidelity in 2015, but this is the first time it has been available on Blu-ray audio.
In addition to the above, a 20-disc seven-inch box set of The Singles (‘limited’ to 10,000 copies) is being issued .
