Hear The Doors Twentieth Century Fox Live At The Matrix

Posted

50 years ago in 1967, The Doors broke through to the other side for the first time with their eponymous debut on Elektra Records. The Doors would go on to sell millions of copies and made stars of John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and Jim Morrison. Today, the album is widely considered to be one of the all-time-classic rock and roll debuts.

To celebrate this landmark recording’s 50th anniversary, the band will release The Doors: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. This 3CD/LP set (also available digitally) will be available on March 31. Pre-orders can be found here.

Packaged in a well-presented hardcover book, the Deluxe Edition includes a remastered version of the album’s original stereo mix, available on CD for the first time in a decade and remastered for the first time in nearly 30 years. The album’s original mono mix was remastered for this new set and is making its CD debut. An LP-version of the mono mix is also included. Music journalist David Fricke provides detailed liner notes for the set, which includes a selection of rare and previously unseen photographs.

The set offers a rare opportunity to hear the band on the verge of superstardom with live performances recorded during a March 7, 1967 show at the Matrix in San Francisco. The Matrix recordings heard on this deluxe edition were sourced from the recently discovered original tapes, previously thought to be lost. The Matrix recordings, originally released in 2008, were from a third-generation source, so the sound quality of the versions debuting here is second to none.
