Jampol hints: The Doors L.A. Woman 40th deluxe edition coming

Warner Bros has been putting more restrictions on archive projects, that's what the problem is.

 

Agreed. That said, I don't think he has direct involvement with the entire operation. My guess is that he is helping EH with certain projects. Janie isn't letting go of control of that gravy train.

 

Have to agree with sufingelectrode these albums have been released over and over there's other stuff that could be released I just got back into vinyl after 25 years and there are titles I want that aren't available just bought all the Doors vinyl (Rhino) so I'm good. Maybe they should think about releasing the Bright Midnight catalog on vinyl.

 

I hear that.

Something we haven't heard before, please. I hope they can find something more interesting to release in the coming years instead of endless variations of the 6 Morrison albums.

What a messy catalog!

 

I guess it depends upon what you mean by "heard before". I assume you are referring to officially released music. With that assumption in place, they could release:

1) Matrix (1st generation with missing jams)
2) London Fog
3) Seattle
4) Bakersfield
5) Chalk Farm
6) Hawaii
7) Hollywood Bowl
8) Toronto
9) Roundhouse
10) LA Forum
11) 45s
12) The Doors and Strange Days in mono on cd
13) Amsterdam
14) Asbury Park
15) Chicago Coliseum
16) Isle of Wight
17) Dallas
18) Winterland

There are concerts that The Doors have been unwilling to pay the owners to obtain the tapes.

Ray, Robbie, John and their fans are not getting any younger. Why not release these shows and put them in the hands of their loyal fans before we're buried.

What are they waiting for?

 

You're probably right. However, it get's frustrating when you get promised something.....and then nothing. Considering that this happens with the Doors repeatedly....alienation amongst the fan base towards band management (or whoever is responsible) shouldn't be surprising.

 

Considering that they own the physical master tapes for London Fog & the Matrix, they would make for a great analog cut vinyl release.

I'm very frustrated regarding the bands policy of never/rarely purchasing concert tapes from owners as well. Especially considering what is rumored to be out there. (Multiple 1967 soundboards for example.) However, it's their money and we can't force them. Just hope they change their minds in the future. Also, hope that tape owners will be somewhat more reasonable in what their asking price is.

 

I picked this set up for my birthday. I have an old vinyl, bought second hand in thee 70s, so it was time to act and the outtakes are great.
