Import version includes five tracks that are subbed out on the US edition, 'Bird of Prey (LP Version'), 'Orange County Suite', 'Runnin' Blue', 'Stoned Immaculate (LP Version)' and 'Whiskey, Mystics and Men' [Version #1]. The Very Best of The Doors (Double disc/34 tracks) cuts deeper into the band's studio albums with key songs that defined their sound including "Orange County Suite" "The W.A.S.P. (Texas Radio & the Big Beat)," "Five to One," "When the Music's Over," "Whiskey, Mystics And Men," plus the unedited version of "The End." Each track boasts a brand new mix supervised by The Doors and Bruce Botnick, the band's original engineer and producer. "We want our fans, both new and old, to hear what we discovered on listening to the actual multitrack recordings," says keyboard player Ray Manzarek. "There are background vocals by Jim Morrison, piano parts of mine that weren't used, and guitar stingers and solos by Robby Krieger that never made the original recordings that can now be heard for the first time. We used state-of-the-art techniques to bring these discs to the same sound quality we experienced in the studio when we initially recorded our songs. We invite all our fans to join US in this recreation of the legendary recording sessions of The Doors. And to be a part of our original conceptions." Also available as a 20 track single disc! Warner.

A great compilation. The very best of the Doors and then some..
The Very Best of the Doors is a great compilation. I am glad I went for the Import version. The bonus songs on the Import version just add to an already strong collection. The sound is definitely enhanced by the remastered original multitrack recordings, giving greater depth to the songs. There are many best of compilations and box sets available covering the Doors legacy. However, this set is better than most. This set is a must for adoring fans and a great starting point for new ones.

Great Starting Place
Great Collection on this import version. Fantastic sound. Bird of Prey is a bit of a throw-away in my humble opinion but the rest is SO good that I went out and purchased the entire Doors catalogue within 2 weeks of owning this. Texas Radio and the Big Beat never sounded so BIG. Wonderful.

Blast from the past
I remember the Doors and their music through my older brother who was a big fan. This cd brought back many good memories from my early years.

Capturing the Groove again!!
It's the Doors, what can I say. The Morrison mystique lives on. The music captures a time when things were shaken-up and changed...when war shattered this country and "This is the End" was a metaphor for Vietnam and a post World War II Norman Rockwell fairy tale. Say what you will about Morrison's personal life, his music, that of the Doors, has always resonated with me.
