The Doors @ 40


Another event this year is the 40th anniversary of The Doors' eponymous first album, and certainly this is taken as the official date to celebrate by both the record company and the remaining band members (there's even a logo!).

Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger were on Radio 2 as Johnnie Walker's special guests this afternoon, blatently plugging a new compilation which is released tomorrow (and pictured above). It's a complete remaster on 2 CDs, accompanied by a live DVD and book on the deluxe edition. The interview was entertainingly candid covering Bach riffs, regular LSD use and Jim Morrison's endowment. It can be heard on the Listen Again facility for 7 days from today.
