Singles compiles all 20 of the singles from The Doors' official discography. This not only includes every A and B-side from their best-known studio albums from The Doors (1967) to L.A. Woman (1971) but several albums recorded and released after the passing of frontman Jim Morrison, including Other Voices (1971) and Full Circle (1972) plus An American Prayer (the divisive 1978 album which put Morrison's poetry recordings to music) and the 1983 live set Alive, She Cried. All tracks are sourced from the original analog single masters and remastered by the band's engineer Bruce Botnick. That means all the original, unique and rare single mixes and edits will appear in this set, many for the first time on CD. The pot is sweetened even further with the presence of mono radio versions of "Hello, I Love You," "Touch Me," "Wishful Sinful" and "Tell All the People," entirely unreleased since their appearance on promotional singles. Two deluxe editions will also be available. One adds to the 2CD set a Blu-ray Audio disc of The Best of The Doors. This 1973 album was specifically mixed in four-channel quadraphonic sound and makes its Blu-ray Audio debut here (it was released on SACD by Audio Fidelity in 2015). And a vinyl version, limited to 10,000 copies and available through the band's official web store, features all 20 45RPM singles in replicas of their original sleeves (with an enclosed poster featuring all those sleeves as well). Whew!
