THE BEST OF THE DOORS limited-edition Blu-ray available in 5.1 surround sound features a Dolby Atmos mix, DTS HD 5.1, and DTS HD Master Stereo mixes. All mixed by The Doors’ original engineer Bruce Botnick. Originally released in 1985, the compilation included 19 singles and album tracks from the band’s first six records, including the No.1 hits “Light My Fire” and “Hello, I Love You.” The definitive hits album that’s sold over 10 million copies.

Often hailed as one of the most innovative and influential acts of the 1960s, The Doors’ unique blend of rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, blues, psychedelia, and mysticism cemented them as key figures in the counterculture of that era. The band’s most famous lineup was made up of singer/poet Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore.

Signed to Elektra Records by label head Jac Holzman in 1966, the group recorded six acclaimed studio albums in the span of just five years–1967’s self-titled debut and Strange Days, 1968’s Waiting For The Sun, 1969’s The Soft Parade, 1970’s Morrison Hotel, and 1971’s L.A. Woman–prior to Morrison’s tragic death in July 1971 at the age of 27.

The height speakers are active participants throughout the proceedings, supplying studio ambience as well as key instrumentation like the guitar solo in “People Are Strange,” harmonica in “Roadhouse Blues,” and of course the thunderstorm effects in “Riders On The Storm” (if ever there was a song that justified having extra speakers put in the ceiling!).
