I need a little help or info...Other than the obvious singles mixes of "Light Me Fire" and "Riders On The Storm", what are the other ones, obvious or just slightly different? And, other than "Who Scared You", "You Need Meat", and "Treetrunk" (all three which most Doors' fans have), what else does this comp bring to the table?
I'm gonna give you a lazy answer for now, and suggest reading up on the Japanese singles set from a few years back. The release information detailed all the differences. Beyond that, there is the Roadhouse Blues/You Make Me Real single, which are different mixes. And then there is the Riders On The Storm mono mix, released in 2011. Actually, I can't find the info anymore. So, here goes: Light My Fire has the single edit Tell All The People runs longer than the album Touch Me is a far superior mix, with the drums centered, but Stronger Than Dirt is mixed out You Need Meat is the proper single mix, not the remix from 2007 The Unknown Soldier and We Could Be So Good Together are dedicated mono mixes. I think they also appeared on the Waiting On The Sun MONO album, even though most of the tracks were folds. And Who Scared You... there's multiple mixes of that one. I forget which one gets used where, but it's a bit confusing. Here's @99thfloor 's perfect breakdown on it. Question re: The Doors' Who Scared You Hope this helps! The only other point would be that tracks from the first two albums would be mono singles, but the same mono mixes used on the albums.
Just what hardcore fans have been clamoring for: a few extra seconds of "Tell All The People." Jampol surely has his finger on the pulse of the market with these three new single mix releases.
The 'firing squad' portion of "The Unknown Soldier" has a number of differences on the 45, most particularly different bullet sound effects, and IIRC, the use of bells in the "War Is Over" ending by Jim...
actually i'm excited about that. i love that song. i think the single version of "wishful sinful" is also longer
"wishful sinful" is also longer i think and i believe "hello i love you" has a different stereo mix on the single
Wrong mixes/edits. IIRC, Who Scared You on the 97 box had a 30 verse chopped out. Perception might be new mixes. For those that didn't pick up the "Weird Scenes n a Goldmine" cd from 2014(which I totally forgot beyond the RSD vinyl) this might be the first time to get proper versions of these songs on CD. I think there's 6-10 single mixes/edits potentially getting their first ever North America release on this comp.
oh ok. if i remember correctly the "hello, i love you" single has a stereo mix with a hard pan stereo effect in it thats not been released anywhere else
Easily 50% of this set is stuff I don't have on CD. Especially after ignoring a bunch of releases since 2011. Should be 30% new for even hardcore fans.
Tons of studio outtakes. Fillmore East Privately held live stuff Probably an hour of 1968 footage that could sync to audience tapes 10 hours audio of Jim Poetry Strange Days mono cd LAW demos IOW audio and video New Orleans final gig audio Finished edit of HWY that hasn't been publicly seen
7-8 years ago I submitted to Jeff a listing of my Doors 45's in my collection which included foreign and US pressings (NM condition). Not sure where he is going with this. It's anyone's guess. I'm guessing it won't be complete like it should be.
...or a regurgetation of the same old videos. Maybe an attempt to do something similar to the Beatles 1+.
Re-evolution was a nice idea in that sense, except it got annoying as hell listening to the same songs two time in a row.
