Doors, The
Vinyl Box

Listening notes

Released in 2008 on Rhino Records (catalog number RHI1 74881), The Doors' Vinyl Box is a seven-LP box set collecting the band's six studio albums alongside an additional record presenting the debut album in mono. The set is classified under the Classic Rock and Rock genres.

The six studio albums represented are The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, and L.A. Woman, each occupying its own pair of sides across the first six records. The seventh and final record presents the complete debut album, The Doors, in a mono version, spread across sides M and N.

The tracklisting across all seven records is comprehensive. The first album's stereo presentation runs across sides A and B, opening with "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" and closing with "The End." Strange Days follows on sides C and D, from the title track through to "When The Music's Over." Waiting for the Sun occupies sides E and F, beginning with "Hello, I Love You" and concluding with "Five To One." The Soft Parade fills sides G and H, Morrison Hotel sides I and J, and L.A. Woman sides K and L, ending the studio sequence with "Riders On The Storm." The mono version of the debut then reprises all eleven tracks of that album across sides M and N, with the tracklisting matching the stereo presentation.

The format — seven vinyl records in a box configuration — makes this set a dedicated survey of the band's studio catalog as it stood at the time of this release. No additional information regarding personnel, mastering, or packaging contents is available from the verified data on hand. Fact checker should confirm mono record details and any inserts or liner notes included.
