The Doors Vinyl Boxed Set---How Good?

Wolfgang -- Sat, 05/03/2008 - 23:53

Has anyone checked out the new Doors boxed set on vinyl?
I've been looking forward to it, and have several of the original albums, but wondered how good the reissues compared to the originals in terms of sonics.

Thanks for your help!

I don't have it yet, but Jac Holzman was involved with the project. Jac "discovered" The Doors when he ran Elektra and guided Elektra for 23 years. His involvement suggests that at a minimum, the booklet contained in the set might contain some interesting insights?

Speaking of insights, there is an interesting interview with Jac from The Doors Collector's Magazine reprinted at: http://www.cinetropic.com/janeloisemorris/interview/holzman/index.html

The remastered CDs are excellent.

As above the dvda/cd box set is topshelf.
Light years ahead of the original cd releases which were awfull.
Turned me off to replacing vinyl for years.
