Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) proudly celebrates the upcoming 60th anniversary of The Doors with the release of The Doors 1967-1971 limited-edition high-fidelity boxed set today. The 6-LP collection presents the band’s first six full-length albums: The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, and L.A.Woman. This comprehensive package is limited to only 3,000 individually numbered copies available exclusively at thedoors.com and rhino.com. This box will not be available in stores.

The 6-LP set has been packaged in a stunning green snakeskin hardcover box with gold leaf print and features all of the band’s studio albums cut from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio. The vinyl was pressed at Optimal Media, and each record is housed in a heavyweight gatefold jacket. The box set also features rare photos and liner notes by The Doors’ archivist David Dutkowski, who has culled together the story of each individual record from unpublished interviews conducted with band members Robby Krieger [guitar], Ray Manzarek [organ, piano bass] and John Densmore [drums] in addition to key figures such as Elektra Founder/President Jac Holzman, producer Paul Rothchild, and engineer/co-producer Bruce Botnick.

The Doors 1967-1971 serves as the ultimate gateway into the universe of one of the world’s greatest rock acts. It revisits the group during a watershed four-year period of unrivaled and utterly prolific creativity which resulted in their debut and best-selling album, the 4x-Platinum The Doors [1967] (#86 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time), the platinum Strange Days [1967], the platinum and Billboard 200 #1 Waiting for the Sun [1968], the platinum The Soft Parade [1969], the platinum Morrison Hotel [1970], and the triple-platinum L.A.Woman [1971].

The band became a cultural phenomenon with “Light My Fire,” Elektra Record’s first single to top the Billboard Hot 100. This track, along with other unforgettable hits like “Break on Through (To the Other Side),” “People Are Strange,” “Hello, I Love You,” “Touch Me,” “Love Her Madly,” and the hauntingly iconic “Riders on the Storm,” cemented The Doors’ reputation as musical trailblazers. Each single resonated deeply with audiences, capturing the turbulence, freedom, and mystery of the era while showcasing Jim Morrison’s poetic lyricism.

Formed in Los Angeles, CA, in 1965, The Doors have sold north of 100 million albums globally, with U.S. sales of over 34 million albums. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 1993, garnered a GRAMMY® Award for Lifetime Achievement and were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The group also earned the 41st spot on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Their influence and impact on rock ‘n’ roll and culture remains unmatched from one generation to the next.

Next week, on Friday, November 29, The Doors will release Live in Detroit for Record Store Day’s Black Friday event. Recorded at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI, on May 8, 1970, this 4-LP set includes a 17-minute version of “The End,” a real rarity among recorded live shows. One of the longest Doors shows ever caught on tape! Available for the very first time on vinyl.
