| For anyone interested, Warner Japan is releasing in June a box set with 14 individual cds for each original 45 released in Japan which includes single mixes (most of them never before released on cd). |

Great news! Hopefully they're all from tape. Some tracks on the Carpenters singles box, for example, were 45 dubs. And Aaron thinks the "People are Strange" Digital 45 is a disc dub. We shall see. Here's the track listing from CDJapan:

| Wow, I hope the single version of "Touch Me" is the right version, and from tape! I've been wanting that for a LONG time. |

I can understand why they would want each single to be its own cd, but that just seems so impractical to me..... I think the smarter thing to do would've been to make it a 45 rpm box set with one cd containing all of the tracks as well. ------------- Live in stereo. |

the LP mix and the 45 mix for this single? They should have included this one remaining single version in this box set (there may never be another opportunity). ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

"Wishful Sinful" was remixed similar to the way that "Touch Me" was remixed, with instruments in different places in the stereo field.. I
believe the bass and drum are more in the center.. To give it more punch. I haven't listened in a while but that's what I remember. But unlike Touch Me, the mono radio version of "Wishful Sinful" sounds like a simple fold down to me. "Touch Me" sounds like a dedicated mono mix. And it's slower. |

Bill, I assume you mean a simple fold down of the stereo single remix
and not of the LP version, right? ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

| Yes, I mean that he DJ mono side sounds to my ears like a fold down of the single remix. |

Low and behold this interesting new double CD release is scheduled to be released on Sept. 15th on Rhino/Elektra per the Second Disc website:
The Singles: The Singles compiles all 20 of the band’s singles from The Doors’ official discography. This not only includes every A and B-side from their best-known studio albums from The Doors (1967) to L.A. Woman (1971) but several albums recorded and released after the passing of frontman Jim Morrison, including Other Voices (1971) and Full Circle (1972) plus An American Prayer (the divisive 1978 album which put Morrison’s poetry recordings to music) and the 1983 live set Alive, She Cried. All tracks are sourced from the original analog single masters and remastered by the band’s engineer Bruce Botnick. That means all the original, unique and rare single mixes and edits will appear in this set, many for the first time on CD. The pot is sweetened even further with the presence of mono radio versions of “Hello, I Love You,” “Touch Me,” “Wishful Sinful” and “Tell All the People,” entirely unreleased since their appearance on promotional singles. Two further deluxe editions will also be available. One adds to the 2CD set a Blu-ray Audio disc of The Best of The Doors. This 1973 album was specifically mixed in four-channel quadraphonic sound and makes its Blu-ray Audio debut here (it was released on SACD by Audio Fidelity in 2015). And a vinyl version, limited to 10,000 copies and available through the band’s official web store, features all 20 45RPM singles in replicas of their original sleeves (with an enclosed poster featuring all those sleeves as well). Disc 1: 1. Break On Through (to the Other Side) 2. End of the Night 3. Light My Fire 4. The Crystal Ship 5. People Are Strange 6. Unhappy Girl 7. Love Me Two Times 8. Moonlight Drive 9. The Unknown Soldier 10. We Could Be So Good Together 11. Hello, I Love You 12. Love Street 13. Touch Me 14. Wild Child 15. Wishful Sinful 16. Who Scared You 17. Tell All the People 18. Easy Ride 19. Runnin’ Blue 20. Do It 21. You Make Me Real 22. Roadhouse Blues 23. Love Her Madly 24. (You Need Meat) Don’t Go No Further 25. Riders On the Storm 26. Changeling Disc 2: 1. Tightrope Ride 2. Variety is the Spice of Life 3. Ships W/ Sails 4. In the Eye of the Sun 5. Get Up and Dance 6. Treetrunk 7. The Mosquito 8. It Slipped My Mind 9. The Piano Bird 10. Good Rockin’ 11. Roadhouse Blues (Live) 12. Albinoni: Adagio 13. Gloria (Live) 14. Moonlight Drive (Live) 15. Hello, I Love You (Mono Radio Version) 16. Touch Me (Mono Radio Version) 17. Wishful Sinful (Mono Radio Version) 18. Tell All the People (Mono Radio Version) Note: Track Listing Plus Release Date Updated 6/29/17 ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Always thought the band didn't want single versions
released. Glad Rhino is releasing this! |

| I think this is the 1st time that the single, stereo version of "Touch Me" has been released in the US. I'm glad this CD is being released. |

Pre-ordered mine today. I believe it's $5.00 cheaper if
you don't get the bonus blu-ray. |

Yep, although Amazon and Barnes & Noble say it's a 9/15 release. Still preordered it anyway. :) ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

I just got an email from Amazon saying
that the release date was pushed back to September 15th as well. I hope that doesn't mean there are issues or mistakes. |

Got mine in the mail today. Before I rip to wav files,
has anyone compared to the 45's? |

I've just done some quick sampling, for the most part. On first listen, I thought "Riders On The Storm" sounded fast, but that didn't prove to be the case: it matched the promo 45 dub I made not long ago. The few others I've listened to thus far appear to be correct, too. I can finally chalk up the odd low frequency bumps and artifacts on "The Unknown Soldier" to the master tape itself, not my vinyl 45 pressing.
Here's the best news: unlike the Japanese singles set from a few years back, this one isn't compressed. Here, the mastering sounds downright flat, with no signs of peak limiting. This set has a lot of breathing room. |

I received an email last night that I could auto rip it so I did. All tracks sound correct to me. Better sounding than I have on vinyl, and all sound like
the right versions. The mono "Touch Me has" the lowered "yeah" on the intro just like my mono promo 45 does. And it's slower than the stock 45, like my promo. You can hear why they did a dedicated mono mix for radio, it helps punch up the horns. I always liked the single mix of "Wishful Sinful" and it sounds great here. I've never been able to tell if the mono "Wishful" is anything more than a fold down but somebody else might notice a difference. And a couple of these mixes I didn't have before so it's a great purchase. |

After more careful review, the stereo single mix on this CD of "Wishful Sinful" does not match my stock 45 or the stereo side of my DJ 45. On the
stereo 45's that I have, the drum and bass are straight center, with orchestration to the left and right. On this CD, the bass is center but the drums are a little off center. More obviously, after the first chorus, on the stereo 45, there is a section where Morrison sings "Magic.. Rising". During this portion, the strings are turned off completely and then are slowly faded back in. On this CD, there is a glitchy sounding piece of orchestration on one channel during "Magic, Rising". I'm not sure where this particular mix came from but it doesn't match anything else that I've heard on this song. Maybe an early mix or a rejected one? However, the mono "Wishful Sinful" on the CD DOES match the mix of my DJ mono side. So for the stereo version on this CD they either couldn't find the stereo single master, there was another 45 that I don't have, they pulled the wrong tape, or they tried to fudge something close. Once again, you can't fool this board! |

Is the 45 timing for "The Unknown Soldier" correct? Pat's database shows (3:10) is the running time--here it runs about (3:16) but the silence extends to (3:24). ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Doug, the actual time on The Singles CD is (3:19), which puts it a hair over eight seconds longer than my stock 45 (3:10, just shy of 3:11.) Perhaps this one runs longer on the Monarch or Columbia Terre Haute pressing(s); mine is a Specialty, on vinyl. There's no speed difference; it's just an earlier fade on the 45. Interesting that it now takes eight more seconds for "it's all over" to actually be all over. ;) |

Thank you, sir. It looks like the fade starts around (3:00), just after Morrison's "Yeah!" vocal, to get it to the proper 45 length (using a promo 45
from YouTube for reference). ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

It begins at (2:58), although it doesn't really become audible 'til around 3:00 or thereabouts. |

I just picked up this set and, for the most part, it's fantastic. Sonically, most
things sound great. The one exception is "People Are Strange" - sounds muffled. I bet it's a vinyl transfer. Just my guess. I featured the set on my radio show today, and when I played "People" is did not sound good on the air. We try and play the true single versions of everything in rotation (1955-79), but may have to hunt out another source for this one. On a positive, it's cool to hear "Touch Me" without the Ajax reference at the end. Sorry I haven't been here in awhile, just been crazy busy! Tony |

The second CD with the mono 45 versions of "Hello, I
Love You", "Tell All The People" and "Touch Me" are a real nice addition for all of us wanting the hit versions of classic Doors. |

Glad I ordered this set. So nice to see the levels
aren't brickwalled. Only think I had to do was fade "Love Her Madly" to the 45 length as it runs longer than 2:41 on this set. |
