Amazon.com
For years, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same music from the 1960s and '70s over and over again, via remasterings, repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast with multiple formats for every release. Each of the group's six albums has not only been re-remastered (this time by the remaining band members plus original engineer Bruce Botnick as the "40th anniversary mix"), but loaded up with a bevy of previously unreleased bonus tracks. But that's not it--for each album, there's a companion DVD, which includes a whole new 5.1 surround sound mix with more tracks, as well as the usual DVD extras, i.e., photo galleries, lyrics, and videos. That makes 12 discs, much of it essentially redundant. If you're cool with that, you're in for a treat. From the spookier, unissued version of "Indian Summer" to the entirely new tune "Push Push" and some super-rad footage of the band rehearsing L.A. Woman, it's easy to fall in love with this swirling, highly sexualized, and often brilliant band all over again. --Mike McGonigal

 5.1 surround mix sucks November 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a Doors fan and I have bought all these albums at least 4 times before (LP, cassette, "regular" CD, then CD edition with bonus tracks) each, so the only reason why I bought this box set is the 5.1 surround sound mix. By any metric imaginable, these are definitely the worst 5.1 mixes I have ever encountered. Just about everything is dumped on the central channel; one can occasionally hear a guitar solo or keyboards on the surround channels, and that's about it. You might as well disconnect the subwoofer because no signal is sent to that channel. Save your money and wait for the next dvd-audio edition.
 Great box set August 30, 2008
If you are a Doors fan/lover, then this box set will easily satisfy you. I do prefer some of their other versions to some songs, but most everything else was right on. It was worth the price, and Amazon did a great job on the gift wrap. It was a memorable birthday present for my girlfriend, and even better for me since she moved in. Now we share this great Doors collection.
Break on through........................................ April 12, 2008
If you are a Doors' fan then this is a new way of listening to them. Out takes and new versions of old favorites.
DVDs have DVD-Audio 5.1 96/24 March 19, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The DVDs do have DVD-Audio (MLP) 24bit 96khz 5.1 tracks for every song.
I couldn't find this info before ordering (Amazon is not very good at properly describing hi-res audio products).
dvd audio must have February 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
if you own a high end audio system w a dvd-audio player this set is a must have for any doors fan.the 5.1 versions are smokin hot, the 1st album not so much probably due to the quality of the original tapes but by the time you get to break on through or wishful sinful you will be weak in the knees, la woman is the same release that was independant some years ago with the kickoff of the dvd-a medium. but the collection is well worth it if you are an audiophile, the other reviews that tell you to purchase the old packages obviously do not have dvd-a players
