Doors Box Set on LP - Bernie Grundman


Anyone bought and listened yet? I'm very tempted but not if they don't beat the 70s reissues I own.
Thanks!

I haven't heard the vinyl but the Rhino CD remasters are better than the last mini vinyl boxset. They have added bonus tracks that are sometimes very good as well as being newly mixed from the original 16 track masters. Some purists dislike them because of the added vocals and intrumentation, but it is how the music was originally mixed.
These are excellent very well done and worth buying. Many of the type big online retailers are out of stock until August but www.SoundstageDirect.com have a few left. Excellent place to buy sealed lp's.
There's a pretty huge thread at the Steve Hoffman about these as well as a smaller one at vinyl asylum. Opinions seem to be split around 50-50 or possibly 60-40 in favor of the box set over the DCC's or originals.

In light of the fact that the box set has been manipulated digitally, I have no interest in it. I have originals or early re-issues of most of the albums and if I want any others I'll seek originals of those.

On top of that, there have been huge quality control issues with the box set.
