The Soft Parade is turning 50 with a new box set limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, including the original studio album - and the non-LP B-side of "Wishful Sinful," "Who Scared You" on CD - as newly remastered by the band's longtime collaborator, Bruce Botnick on CD and 180-gram vinyl plus new liner notes by rock journalist David Fricke. 15 rarities including 13 previously unreleased tracks are spread across Discs 2 and 3, including stripped-down "Doors Only" mixes sans the brass and strings of  "Tell All The People," "Touch Me," "Wishful Sinful," "Runnin' Blue," and "Who Scared You."  The set additionally features three of those stripped-down ("Touch Me," "Wishful Sinful," and "Runnin' Blue) versions with new guitar parts added by Robby Krieger. Among the three studio outtakes collected on the set's final disc is much-bootlegged, hourlong jam "Rock Is Dead," which appears on this set in its entire, surviving form for the first time ever.  Also available on a single CD with the original album only.
