    1. that last rsd of the doors is terrfic. we should be luck that it was recorded. the stlkm shows are pro shows that have been circulated incomplete. here are the complete shows at last. a killer release

    2. agree the recording is very poor, but it’s up to the fans of the band to decide whether to buy the product, in what ever format.

    3. could not agree more bought the Matrix box set recently & the sound quality is quite poor. The new live one due as Jim Morrison towards the latter part of 1970, as his drinking would obviously effect his voice, dead cats dead rats, & goodness knows what else he was going through at the time, not for me no thanks.

      1. Well one great release or a new reissue is the best of The Doors & this one they have decided to place it on a bluray edition in 5.1 surround sound, this one is an automatic buy for me.

  1. Interesting that there’s never any unreleased studio recordings from Linda Ronstadt. I presume there’s some, but they’ve never been added to her album reissues. And why is it still called Record Store Day when nearly all releases are vinyl. I’d be happy to support my local record shop, but I’m not going back to vinyl to do so. Maybe call it Vinyl Record Store Day…

    1. I agree. I would like to see more unreleased Linda Ronstadt recordings. Her self-titled album “Linda Ronstadt” had three live tracks recorded at the Troubadour. The entire set was recorded, and at least parts of it were filmed, as clips were seen in the Eagles documentary and the first Ronstadt documentary. A special edition of this album with the entire live concert as an extra add-on would be a spectacular release.
