The Doors – The Doors (Hybrid-Multikanal-SACD, Analogue Productions)

One of rock music’s most famous debuts, The Doors self-titled 1967 smash is legend. And now it becomes the kick-off for a positively stunning SACD reissue series of six Doors albums from Analogue Productions. The Doors’ first album is reissued without speed or pitch correction, and the surround sound program comes from the original 96K, 24-bit files mixed and mastered by Bruce Botnick for the DVD Audio Doors/Perception release. Those mixes were made from the original one-inch, eight track, 15 i.p.s. analog master tapes. For the SACDs, the mixes were then up-sampled without filters to DSD using the Weiss Saracon format converter and authored by Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center. Their Doors’s debut album reached Billboard’s No. 2 slot and delivered the No. 1 signature smash ”Light My Fire” plus ”Break On Through”, ”The Crystal Ship”, and ”The End”.
