For last year’s Record Store Day Black Friday lineup, Rhino puts The Doors front and center with Live in Copenhagen, a previously unreleased 1968 performance finally pulled from the vault. Live in Copenhagen captures the band’s full early show from September 17th at the Falkoner Centret during their European tour. It’s a substantial RSD Exclusive — one that highlights The Doors at a pivotal moment, delivering a raw, unpolished document that adds real value to the band’s live catalog rather than reworking material fans already know by heart.

The Doors’ 60th anniversary celebration continues with The Doors – Immersed 1967–1971, featuring Dolby Atmos mixes of the band’s six studio albums on Blu-ray for the first time. The set includes Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround, and high-resolution stereo (192/24), alongside remixes in 5.1 surround sound and immersive 12-channel Dolby Atmos versions of The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, and L.A.Woman.

I am very grateful and very proud. It’s so kind of Uncut to make this CD.”
…Across nine songs and 44 minutes, we take a trip with Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison from an alternate take of “Love Me Two Times”, right up to their stunning performance at 1970’s Isle of Wight Festival.
Along the way, there are outtakes from LA Woman, a demo from Waiting for the Sun, a raw Soft Parade track stripped of its orchestration…
