The Beautiful Die Young has a satisfying
soundquality and some very interesting versions of Doors
songs. People especially will love the beautiful medley
within Back Door Man, featuring early renditions
of Maggie M'Gill and Roadhouse Blues. The
End is truly fascinating on this CD. And above all -
it is a complete concert without any cuts. Do not miss The
Beautiful Die Young!
THE BEST OF THE DOORS (CD)
Elektra 60345-2, Russia 1996 |
No, no, stop! This not an official release but a
Russian mafia bootleg (if not counterfeit) using the very
official Elektra logo on the label. A very nasty release
which show how "official" bootlegs can look
like. It features 17 (!) songs from the original Elektra
release on one single CD. The booklet just says The
Doors - The Best, and it is a reprint of the first
Doors album cover (note that is is a little out of
focus). Widely spread, it demands that Elektra should
open an Eastern branch and put out The Doors albums
legally in order to avoid bootlegs like this one.

A CD absolutely not worth your money, because this is an
attempt to rip off Doors fans again. Remember: AVOID ALL
CDs ON WHICH "LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS" IS WRITTEN.
IT IS THE SAME SHIT ALL OVER AGAIN. Nice color
cover, though. The track list on the backcover (next to a
photo taken by Frank Lisciandro) is - of course - not
correct.

This almost the same pity compilation as Light My
Fire (Alegra Sarabandas srl CD 9003) with the
exception of The End, which had been dropped in in
favor of The Unknown Soldier and the well known Absolutely
Live medley. Just one advice: Drop this CD, too.

On this one there is another mess of two Felt Forum shows
(see comment for New York Blues, Document Records
DR 033). The CD is a copy the US Double bootleg LP Roadhouse
Blues (Shogun Records) with a different cover, which
is not in good soundquality. The psychedelic cover and
the drawing in the booklet are well done, but the
soundquality could have been much better if they had only
taken the bootleg LP Bring Out Your Dead (Tangie
Town Records) as the source for this CD, that one is
brilliant.
