The Very Best of The Doors

Great Album if you like the doors it's good value for Money

I have at one time and another possessed several Doors compilations and feel that "The Very Best Of The Doors" is the strongest of them all. The selection of tracks is very good - the usual greats 'Light My Fire' and 'Riders On The Storm'. First rate covers 'Back Door Man' and 'Alabama Song'. Also other excellent and somewhat lesser known songs such as 'Peace Frog', 'Love Street' and the sublime 'The Crystal Ship' are included. The version of 'The End' is the abridged one from the film 'Apocalypse Now'. I notice from other reviews that some objected to this, but i found it interesting to have a different take on this well known epic. For me the finest single disc compilation of this remarkable band.

Good quality pre owned, worth the money

The second-hand cd I bought as 'very good' was unplayable until it was given a good clean with a cloth. I had not heard The Doors for years, was not even a great fan in my early teens (14 in 67) as I was brought up with Mozart, Bach, Brahms and Sibelius (Finlandia and Valse Triste) and not least as my best friend's older brother played the band so loud that the whole house threatened to crumble and fall to pieces on the ground. I feel fortunate to be alive today and at that almost long forgotten time to play Light My Fire at a more tolerable volume at home as my parents in their 60s were certainly no fans of rock-and-roll, though my father quite liked a few years later(69) Robin Gibb's Saved by the Bell which was also played at full throttle half a mile away (but not by me). I am sorry I never played Moon of Alabama to my parents which I still think is wonderfull. And if the World exists in a 1000 years' time, it will still be played with pleasure. Mark my prophetic words"!! Also very good and perhaps as prophetic is 'The End', and the hole cd contains probably the very best of the Doors. The booklet is a little gem too with fine photos, beautiful comments by the members of the band and a very informative text. Buy it quickly! It is great!

Outstanding quality sound, really worth picking up this remaster/remix compilation, easily the best sound I've heard of these tracks, very well done and if you're into your Audiophile sound, I doubt you'll be disappointed, well unless your setup has issues.. again just outstanding!

Excellent recording

Great band of the day always loved the Doors

Tunes wise I love about half of the cd but I'm not the biggest Doors fan. I tend to like certain ones but not others, but the reviewer got it spot on about the sonic improvements made to the recordings. Loved the film version of the end my only friend the end; with the synthetic helicopters and the cocophony of sound later on. Even though I only liked half of the cd it was still value for money.

My son loved this album for Christmas

Great album. I was pleasantly surprised. Many of the songs have been remastered. There are so many albums being mislabeled as remastered when they’re not. The fact that many of the songs are remastered was wonderful news. The album itself is well recorded with an excellent selection of songs. Five stars!

If you like the Doors but don't need the 2 CD collection or the full 11+ minute version of "The End", then this is for you. Of course, price was reduced to $9.99 right after I paid $15 for it. My copy played perfectly which was a big relief after buying 2 different copies of "The Future Starts Here: The Essential Doors Hits" at "WM", both of which had the annoying skip on Track 9 - "Touch Me" noted in other reviews. Very happy with this single CD 20 song collection with all my favs. But if the long version of The End is mandatory, then spring for the more expensive 2CD version of the same Title.

good album
