2017: The Doors 50th Anniversary

indeed, a really nice surprice

 

Romper Room.

 

There are some people who believe this isn't accurate at all. I'd be one of them.

 

There are some people who like to argue with facts. I'm not one of them.

 

Opinions aren't facts. Just thought you should be aware of it. Be well.

 

Well, I take the number of sales of each recent releases as facts. And they are quite telling. Though I can understand that's a hard pill to swallow for such an opinionated individual like you.

 

Must be 'alternative facts'

Oops keep politics off the pages back to The Doors Strange days

 

...this is just my opionin, but I like the saying " don't judge a book by its cover"....the same could be for records ....sales of any product don't indicate quality,, just quantity ....

 

That's how trouble easily starts....

 

just for create a distraction, here is all the doors RSD releases

 

Are the 2 on the bottom left the same? They're slightly different colors but look alike.

 

they have the same content, but different back cover one setlist is write by Robby the other one by John, and also different numbers

 

I have all of these too and the Live at the Aquarius is easily the best one to date. IMO

 

i'm totally agree with you in that, AQ1 is the best one, all the forthcoming relaeses must be in that direction

 

What is the colored vinyl 45?....are they all from this year or several years worth?

 

is part of the "Side by Side" series released on RSD, the song is Soul Kitchen, side A by the Doors and Side B by X

several years worth, all the RSD and RSDBF items so far

 

It is kind of sad that the band's management put so much emphasis on RSD product, rather than focusing on quality mainstream product. If the same effort went into its mainstream retail operations, perhaps by now there would have been a LA Woman box set, a properly done Matrix box set, a singles box set, etc.

 

I've heard nothing but good things in regards to the Aquarius vinyl. Wish I had a copy. My only complaint is that it was somewhat difficult to obtain, unless you wanted to pay outrageous shipping fees from the Doors official site. Would have been far more convenient (for me, anyway) if it was available via Amazon, Elusive Disc, SoundStageDirect, etc.

 

The sound of Live at the Aquarius vinyl is outstanding. It's the only RSD purchase I've ever made. Certainly shows it's possible to put out a high quality release. On a side note, my 1st copy had pressing issues on Side 1 but fortunately the record store had 2 copies and I was able to exchange it for a perfect one. Would have been more than annoyed if it was shipped order.

 

We have to consider that any RSD release is always sold out.
Can you imagine if the London Fog set were a RSD release? i bet my kidney that it would be in the charts

 

Not exactly sure what hasn't been quality? Please, spare me the Fog Box complaining.

 

Precisely. I've got all I can handle here, as we approach 1800 posts for this release.

 

No news good news?

 

You're welcome. It's been an interesting experience rehashing these old memories. It's interesting to read that Densmore didn't like the fact that his drums were buried (in the stereo release) as that is exactly what my first impression was, when I first dropped the needle into the groove for my first listen in stereo. His drums drove every track in the originally-released mono version, and I was so used to that, that it was an immediate loss when I listened to the stereo version.

 

...RSD the doors march 7th part one at the matrix ...2nd best selling LP .... that's great news to me and it shows a demand for the product, limited to 10,000 u it's !
