The Doors are set to reissue ‘L.A. WOMAN’ on December 3 to celebrate 50 years of the iconic album.
The new reissue will feature a 3xCD/1xLP box set of a newly remastered version of the album, alongside two bonus discs of unreleased material.
It follows a recent reissue of the band’s fifth album, ‘Morrison Hotel’. Released last October, the double CD/LP deluxe edition of the acclaimed 1970 album contained the original record which had been subsequently remastered by the band’s longtime engineer and mixer Bruce Botnick. It will also include over 60 minutes of unreleased studio outtakes.
Elsewhere, The Doors’ Robby Krieger has announced his first-ever memoir, Set The Night On Fire: Living, Dying, And Playing Guitar With The Doors, which is set to shed light on the band’s history.
The memoir will be published on October 12 via Little, Brown and Company, and promises to reveal new aspects about the band’s mythological career.
A description of the 300+-page book says readers can expect to learn about “never-before-told stories from The Doors’ vital years” as well as new perspectives on the band’s iconic moments.
