The Doors Break On Through To The Other Side of their 40th Anniversary

"Perception" The Doors 40th Anniversary Box Set includes 12 discs...6 CD's and 6 DVD's...all six of the band's original albums are remastered in stereo on CD, and the companion DVD's are in 5.1 surround sound , plus there's video performances and previously unreleased bonus tracks...available November 21st from Rhino & WEA.
But that's not all that's happening as the Doors celebrate their 40th anniversary. Billboard magazine reports there will also be a vinyl boxed set of the first six albums, and two separate CD versions of the albums will be released individually.
A traveling Doors memorabilia exhibit is being planned and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit will open in April 2007. There's a new Las Vegas show that is scheduled to open in 2008 by video director Jake Nava, who describes it as "a one-hour acid trip, but you don't come down."
