Album Description
6CD/6DVD Boxed set celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary band: All their Jim Morrison-Era studio albums reissued in deluxe 2-disc editions with rare & previously unreleased bonus material, 5.1 mixes, bonus video content, and more! |
Amazon.com
For years, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same music from the 1960s and '70s over and over again, via remasterings, repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast with multiple formats for every release. Each of the group's six albums has not only been re-remastered (this time by the remaining band members plus original engineer Bruce Botnick as the "40th anniversary mix"), but loaded up with a bevy of previously unreleased bonus tracks. But that's not it--for each album, there's a companion DVD, which includes a whole new 5.1 surround sound mix with more tracks, as well as the usual DVD extras, i.e., photo galleries, lyrics, and videos. That makes 12 discs, much of it essentially redundant. If you're cool with that, you're in for a treat. From the spookier, unissued version of "Indian Summer" to the entirely new tune "Push Push" and some super-rad footage of the band rehearsing L.A. Woman, it's easy to fall in love with this swirling, highly sexualized, and often brilliant band all over again. --Mike McGonigal |

the DVD's of 5.1 sound is GREAT! Some new mixes lack.... by G. Harper (Georgia)  4 Stars
September 03, 2009
One gripe about the package is they sell you the BOX set, it easily couda been whittled down, all the DVD's (one DVD fopr each Doors album) all would fit on one single DVD, just a waste to jack up the price.....BUT....the 5.1 mixes are great!
The first album in 5.1 is sorta lame, almost as if it was the first one they remixed in 5.1 and then got better as they progressed.
All the songs have NEW stereo re-mixes, most have elxcellent sound separation but some of the tracks sound as if they were recorded in a shack, who knows, maybe they were.
Some new mixes notables on the Bad side.....
1. "Break on Through" for years and years we heard the verse "she gets...she gets...she gets whaoa...."
Now the "hidden" vocals are brought up and its sung "....she gets high...she gets high...she gets whaoa..."
I think the first mix has a better balance of rythem and beat to it.
2. The End.....near the end of the song at the musical climax, the old mix we hear the band building to the climax and explodes to a creshendo with Robbies feedback guitar work...excellent!
*The new mix brings up Jims vocals and hes just mubbling gibberish like "yah..yah...boop..yah...blah...we---oh...."
Makes it sound like trash..totaly ruins the muisical instrumentation climax.....maybe thats the way the band originally wanted it, but for 40 years we all enjoyed the first mix, now its gone.
Over all, great sound....agian....in this day of mp3's.....all couda fit onto 2 CD's and 1 DVD.....oh well.

Surviving the test of time by Mark Blocker (Los Angeles) 4 Stars
September 02, 2009
The Doors' first 6 albums comprise this package, which features all the attributes--and flaws--of arguably one of the most important rock 'n' roll bands of all time. Though productive for only about three years, the Doors' sound survives the test of time. Ray Manzarek's organ, Robbie Kreiger's versatile guitar and John Densmore's articulate percussion sound as fresh today as they did 40 years ago. But the real reason to buy this package is because it is haunted--chillingly so. The ghost of Jim Morroson is alive and well, packing more power than any other rock and roll front man since his death at 27 back in 1971. Although Manzarek and Krieger penned many of the lyrics, one can't help but conclude Morrison's poetic aptitude pumped up the repertoire larger than life. If you're over 50, do yourself a favor and add this to your collection. It'll make you proud to be a part of the generation that challenged the American status-quo before buying back into the same so eagerly. You can smell the ten dollar lids, see the black light and flourescent posters. The Summer of Love has not yet faded into history.

Doors in 5.1? Umm Hmm. by Snorts  5 Stars
June 10, 2009
This is a review of the 5.1 Surround versions of the albums.
A couple of other reviewers have made some negative comments about the 5.1 mixes. I have to say, I think they are pretty darn good.
To my non-engineering ears, 5.1 mixes come in two types. There are the kinds of mixes that were done for a lot of the old Quadrophonic mixes (I still have my quad amp). They simply mixed some ambience in the rear speakers. In other words, the rear speakers contained things you would be expected to hear in a concert hall behind you. The main band parts still were in the front speakers, some echo or crowd noise behind you from the rear speakers. I have some 5.1 CD's that kind of do this, minimal participation from the rear 'surround' speakers. BOC's "Agents of Fortune" is an example. Some guitar tracks, maybe a bit of percussion is all that you get from the rear.
There were some quad mixes that put different instruments in each track. A good example is Deep Purple's Machine Head. This is what most 5.1 mixes do, a separate sound track in each channel, with the voice usually from the center channel, and the bass drum and guitar from the subwoofer. This is what the Doors 5.1 mixes do. I really like them. I think most of us will agree, most Doors albums did not feature a huge number of overdubs. So, there is not that much to stick in each channel, it gets kind of stark. But, no matter, I LIKE the feeling of being in the MIDDLE of the band, not in front of it.
Point here is that the 5.1 mixes are, to my ear, just fine, and what I paid my money for. Along with the 5.1 DVD's are great stereo mixes on CD's, so there really is no down side.

"A must have for Doors fans everywhere" by Scott N. Burton (Fairfield,CT USA) 5 Stars
April 24, 2009
Hats off to Rhino Records for putting together a box set that truly does this legendary group justice-You get all six of the band's studio releases:"The Doors" (1967) "Strange Days" (1967) "Waiting For The Sun" (1968),"The Soft Parade" (1969),"Morrison Hotel" (1970) & "L.A.Woman" (1971)-Each of the CD packages contains a bonus DVD of the group performing their material in various venues-Whoever did the audio remastering deserves to be commended-The sound on the individual CD's is far superior to that of the original LP's-If you're looking to upgrade your Doors collection,toss out those worn out LP's & purchase "Perception"-It's money well spent.

Doors Perception Box Set by Gary R. Bosworth (Malibu, CA USA)  2 Stars
March 19, 2009
I was disappointed with the operational characteristics of the Strange Days CD in the set. It had several weird versions of the songs and it had a song made up of 3 songs that were put together in a concatenated collage. These weird songs were not even listed on the jacket. The CD covers were different colors and have nothing to do with the original album releases. All in all, the set was very strange indeed. Whoever put it together must still be on LSD.
