The Doors

Active since:

From their beginnings during the summer of 1965 at Venice Beach, California, The Doors were truly aband, a remarkable fusion of creative energies, a lot of attention has been focused on Jim Morrison which his looks and talents clearly justify. However, Jim was well aware that the magic of The Doors could never have happened without the fortunate forging of John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison into a single creative whole. It is no mystery why Jim Morrison never went solo; so sympathetic were the three other musicians to Jim's mission that such a consideration was out of the question

Record Store Day 2026 Additional Releases

Read "Record Store Day 2026 Additional Releases" reviewed by Kyle Simpler


While jazz releases are always a highlight of Record Store Day, the event's massive lists inevitably spill far beyond any single genre.

The Unlikely Story of Cannonball Adderley's Rise to the Top

Read "The Unlikely Story of Cannonball Adderley's Rise to the Top" reviewed by Alan Bryson

Read "Live In Bakersfield August 21, 1970 (2CD)" reviewed by Doug Collette


The somewhat checkered history of archival exhumations from the vault of the Doors would no doubt preclude thinking that Live at the Matrix 1967: The Complete Masters (Rhino, 2023) would constitute anything like a 'be all and end all' of such efforts. Still, to see Live in Bakersfield August 21, 1970 issued in such ...

The Doors: Live At The Matrix 1967: The Original Masters

Read "Live At The Matrix 1967: The Original Masters" reviewed by Doug Collette


With a glossy finish adding to the diaphanous effect, the color filters applied to the images of the Doors inside and outside the package capture the essence of the music inside. In a most practical sense. Reliably sourced from the master tapes this time--in contrast to the 2008 release--Live At The Matrix 1967 : The Original ...
