    For the record collectors out there, the Analogue Productions versions (all mastered from teh original tapes) are the ones to own.  They are all double 45 RPM, tip on jackets, super high end records.  They sound much better than any of the originals, even LA Woman which is a very good sounding record for its time. 

    I will definitely pick these up next time I win the lottery, haha!

    My own favorite Doors has long been:
    The Doors - Morrison Hotel - 45 RPM Vinyl Record


    I saw there is a box set and said cool.  It is actually cheaper to buy all the records separately than to buy the box set.  Is that normal?

    $55 a record for 6= $330  or $400 for the box set...  I don't get it.

    If you want photos and an essay...

    Again, I don't get it.  I love me some box sets too.  One stop shop, extra material.  In this you don't get any of that.

    I agree it's not worth $70, but I"m sure it's a very nice box.  I have their Starker/Bach box set and it's definitely the nicest one I own.  I think what happened is the box set was released first at $400.  That sold out quickly and then they started releasing the individual records which are their standard price of $55 for 45rpm x 2 price.  All of their records that are full analog, 180-200 gram, doubles are that price.  So I'm not sure the price strategy was deliberate in that way, rather they felt the market supported $400 when it was released.  The box is back ordered and I haven't seen it ever come back in stock.

    Yeah, that's crazy.  A lot of extra money for the box and a few extras.  Ka-ching! 
    Besides which, I'm sure you could pick up excellent used copies of most of their stuff for less than $55.  That's what I've done for the four regular titles I have plus  a Russian collection import I cheap.  The only new Doors album I bought was Live in New York put out by Rhino that was very reasonable when in came out.  One of my biggest ever lucked-out on eBay scores is a like-new vinyl copy of The Matrix Tapes- Live at San Francisco 1967.  I think I paid a little under $20 for that one and now it's super hard to find at all these days (there are currently none available on Discogs or eBay).  Deals like that just don't happen any more.

    I got a flawless soft parade for a buck. I guess whomever owned it didn't like it and rarely spun.  I love it

    Recently?  Why would a store sell it for that price these days?

     Like 10 years ago.

    This dude still has a great indie store for digging. Fattened up my collection on the cheap. Now he kind of market prices stuff. Used to be all records were $1. Then $3. Now all over the place.
    When I'd see a box show up behind the counter, I'd get all giddy. He'd let me preview it. I'd circle ready to pounce.  Pull out a pile of stuff that would take years to find in the wild and he hooked me up. I passed on some great stuff.

    Yeah those days are over. Plus I'm out of room.
    I still try hard to buy from him just because he hooked me up over the years. So I guess his strategy worked for return business.

    Yeah I love when you’re at a store and they have some stuff they haven’t gone through yet.  You get some real gems.

    I know you listen to them from a different perspective than I do, you having lived through the rise and fall of the band and all, but this is a tough one for me to follow.
    Perhaps it was seeing one of your peers act the way Jim did?
    Did you not like Ray's solos?
    Maybe one of them stole your girlfriend?
    :lol:.
