THE DOORS

Was there ever a more radically attuned and gloriously ridiculous proposition in American rock than Jim Morrison? Before his sad end, drowned in a Paris bathtub aged 27, he mapped out a leather-clad route to the palace of excess and wonder that many have sought to emulate but none have equalled. This box of beauties represent a time when singles were a revolutionary art form with stone classics such as LA Woman, People Are Strange, Light My Fire, plus many B-side rarities. The perfect American band.
