This is the 40th-anniversary mix of The Doors' masterpiece, released in 2007. The condition is extremely good, with a clean case, booklet, and disc surface. The main selling points of this disc are the new mix, which dramatically improves instrument separation, and the slight changes to the lyrics. This work has been remastered many times since this disc. There's the 2012 Doors SACD series by Analogue Productions, the high-resolution Doors series from Rhino in the same year (using the same remaster), the 50th-anniversary high-resolution remaster series in 2017, and the LP reissue by Rhino in 2025. There may be others, but these all prioritize the sound of a record, the sound of the original LP, so the sound is muddy. I've diligently listened to several versions, but they're not much different. In contrast, this disc is a CD, but because it was remixed, it's far superior to the later high-resolution remasters in terms of instrument separation and liveliness. I think this is a rare example where this CD, despite its lower data specifications, sounds better. The separation is on a different level. Even the often-buried bass drum jumps out clearly. Another point is the lyrics. In "Break On Through," Morrison sings "She gets high." up to the word "high." This wasn't in the original master, but it was added. It's included in the '97 remaster and this disc. There was a time when it was considered correct to omit "high" because it wasn't in the original master and wasn't sung in live performances, but now various live recordings have been unearthed where he sings "high," so it seems to depend on Morrison's mood. Since the band approved the lyric addition on this disc, it doesn't necessarily go against Morrison and The Doors' intentions. Then there's the four-letter word repetition in "The End." You can barely hear it in other versions, but it's very clear on this CD. For those who aren't purists, this disc might be better.
