The Soft Parade (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) (3CD/1LP)

Newly expanded 3CD/1LP set that includes the original studio album â€“ and the B-side â€œWho Scared Youâ€ â€“ newly remastered by Bruce Botnick, The Doorsâ€™ longtime engineer and mixer. The collection is a limited edition of 15,000 individually numbered copies and also includes the original album on 180-gram vinyl along with liner notes by noted rock journalist David Fricke.
-
The core of the new collection is comprised of more than a dozen unreleased songs. Among the highlights are stripped down â€œDoors Onlyâ€ versions of five tracks where the horns and strings have been removed (â€œTell All The People,â€ â€œTouch Me,â€ â€œWishful Sinful,â€ â€œRunninâ€™ Blue,â€ and â€œWho Scared You.â€) The set also features three of those stripped-back versions with new guitar parts added by Robby Krieger (â€œTouch Me,â€ â€œWishful Sinful,â€ and â€œRunninâ€™ Blue).
-
The collection also uncovers three songs from studio rehearsals â€“ with Ray Manzarek (a.k.a. Screaminâ€™ Ray Daniels) on vocals â€“ that include an early version of â€œRoadhouse Blues,â€ a song that would be released the following year on Morrison Hotel. These three songs include newly recorded bass parts by Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots, who joined Krieger and John Densmore at a tribute concert for Manzarek in 2016, three years after the organist died of cancer. Manzarekâ€™s take on â€œRoadhouse Bluesâ€ is available now on all digital download and streaming services.
-
A trio of studio outtakes collected on the setâ€™s final disc feature the much-bootlegged, hour-long jam, â€œRock Is Dead,â€ which appears here in its entire, surviving form for the first time ever. The track finds The Doors riffing through the entire history of rock â€™nâ€™ roll, from early delta blues through surf music, ending with the death of rock.
