18/12/2006 The Doors – a fitting tribute
Though the Doors were an immensely influential rock band, they go in and out of fashion. Most of the time, they’re the favourites of ageing hippies and a few younger retro fans, but, periodically, they re-enter the poprock mainstream. The Doors’ incandescent catalogue is about to get another wider airing with an impressive series of releases. Perception, a (second) box set of the six Doors albums, with bonus material, has already sold out – even before becoming visible in the UK, even in the biggest retail outlets. The double disc sampler, Legacy – The Absolute Best, looks like a worthwhile second best for disappointed fans outside the USA; the 33 remastered tracks include nine which were omitted from the preferred previous compilation, The Best Of The Doors, even from the 2CD European version. A new coffee table book, The Doors By The Doors, edited by Ben Fong-Torres (Hyperion) looks very tempting, too. And there are rumours of a new DVD box set: watch Music for Grown-Ups for details. If you have yet to catch up on The Doors, the recommended albums are the first, The Doors, and the last, LA Woman. Gerry Smith
