The Doors

Perception Bonus Tracks (2006)
Because You've Already Bought The Rest
1 / 2

Here are the remastered and re-released bonus tracks from The Doors' 2006 Perception box set. There are no complaints with the music, except that some of these tracks were previously issued in The Complete Studio Recordings box set and, later, as a single disc Essential Rarities. The Doors have a bad habit of dripping these out across expensive releases, making it hard to collect them all. Expect another re-re-release in 2010, so get them now before your future counterparts (or you yourself) do. We've got a different, final batch of Doors studio bonus tracks posted here.

Sure beats buying or downloading them one or two at a time for 20 years. :) Ironically, there's now an 8-disc "Anthology" [madness!] , which amongst lots of audience tape includes most or all of these, but with a few studio outtakes which are newly-available, I guess. Would you want a share of "Queen of the Highway [Instrumental]", Blues For Lonnie [Instrumental]", Wintertime Love [Alt Vocals Mix], etc.

Thanks for all your new posts. It was pretty quiet here for a year or so. ;)


[Suggested future contenders for this treatment: Dylan's iTunes collection, and the Kinks' new 6CD "Picture Book".]

Yeah... would love the studio stuff. In fact, I went back and looked at Essential Rarities and found there are a couple there that were not included on Perception (Woman Is A Devil, Hyacinth House, Hello I Love You). So, bring them on. I'll look and see what other studio stuff I can find (like the rest of the 1965 Demos) and we'll put them ALL in one place. Since Elektra seems unwilling to. Thanks.

Is that Indian Summer the correct bonus track (the 66 vocal version), or is it the album version that was put on the set by mistake? Drives me nuts when record companies fuck up stuff like this (see also the corrected mixes from The Beatles' Capitol Albums 2....hey, do you have that one?). Thanks!

It sounds like the album version.

Dagnabit! I read that they fixed it, but I've never found one that was. Even the digital ones, which you'd think could be easily altered, still carry the album version as the "66 Vocal" version. Bastards!

the vocal on the '66 version is really beautiful..

I'm loving this music here. Is the 66 vocal for Indian Summer around anywhere?

We don't have it. Maybe someone else has it to share. Thanks for all your comments AMF.
