- expected better quality
- overall this set is just ok. i expected better from 180 gram vinyl. the very first lp has a loud pop and skip on "20th century fox" (and i clean my lp's and stylus before play),and a few more low "cracks" throughout the other songs!! the sound, though, is outstanding! i have only listened to 2 other lp's from this set, "morrison hotel",and "l.a. woman",these had very few "cracks" and were overall excellent. i just dont expect any skips,pops,or cracks from audiophile vinyl, or, i would have rated this a 5.

- Sounds Great
- Maybe mine is an exception, based on other reviews, but I played every record the first day night I got it and the doors have never sounded better- loved one of my favorites The Soft Parade especially. Sound levels are well balanced and I had no scuff or scratch issues. However I did not buy it from amazon- found it elsewhere cheaper (tower). My only problem is I don't see the point of the mono version of 'The Doors' album. That second version would have been better replaced with a live album. Also, 'limited issue' is kind of a stretch when 12,500 copies were made. That's about as least limited as you get for something like this.

- Doors box set finally
- Long delayed. Finally here. Packaging causes scuffs on many of the jackets. My pressings had 2 albums pressed off center. Some controversy over mastering, whether some of the bass is rolled off. Still worth while if a Doors fan.

- Rhino Working To Correct Quality Problems
- Updated July 29 2008: There have been many problems with quality of the first wave of shipments of this product. Rhino has acknowledged the problem (in a letter on their site). If you have problems, contact Dr. Rhino (on their site)...they are being very cooperative in helping to correct problems.

- Overall Great Box Set. But would give 4.5 Stars if I could
- For those of us waiting for a quality reissue of these LPs on vinyl this set is worth the $ and the wait. Many people like to do comparisons against other issues of these albums and I typically find it hard to fault one release over another...unless it is night and day. I feel as though this release was designed to mirror the original master tapes as much as possible while extracting out some of the detail lost in prior releases. By doing this, I think there is a give and take. When it comes to comparing remasterings I have a hard time saying one is better...they are just different (each having their own subjective pros and cons). For instance I find the detail and separtion of instruments to be more compeling in this remastering while there is slightly more bass in other releases. I give this set 4.5 stars on sound and 4.5 stars on packaging. My set looks great, no flaws. However, the sleeves do exhibit some wear from sliding back and forth across each other within the set...maybe they should have sealed these separately? That is my only complaint on packaging...no biggie.
