543.0. "Strange days or noises" by JACOB::RADLER () Mon Nov 24 1986 19:34

    I read in a cd magazine a review of STRANGES DAYS by the DOORS.
    The reviewer said the cd was mastered terribly. It had bad hiss
    crackles and all sorts of noise. Does anybody know if this is the
    American or an Import or both versions? Is there any good copy?
     
       Thanks

543.1Poor masters?MASTER::RDONAHUETue Nov 25 1986 00:488
    I don't have any Doors CD's and can't comment on quality but I just
    read something that may be of interest to you. There is a Doors 
    "Best Of" double CD released in France that is supposed to be the
    only Doors CD mastered from first generation tapes and the sound
    quality is supposed to be significantly better than the regular
    releases. It's unfortunate that considering the price of CD's
    the companies can't even seek out the best masters from their
    own vaults.

    I have both THE DOORS and STRANGE DAYS on CD, and I haven't
    noticed any particularly bad noise on them, but then, I
    don't seem to be as critical about this as some people are.

543.3They sound pretty good to meVINO::GSCOTTThu Dec 04 1986 12:195
    I have THE DOORS, LA WOMAN, WAITING FOR THE SUN on CD and they sound a
    lot better than the records I have; I would rate the quality higher
    than LED ZEPPELIN 4.  However there is always room for improvement.

        Yes there is a double "Best Of ..." Import Doors CD.  I have
    it (I lucked into it), and it's good stuff.  Wish I'd found it before
    I'd picked up the other(s).

    Well, I found my copy of this.  Anyone else who may be looking for
    the 2-CD set of "The Best of The Doors" -- it's available at Rock
    'N' Mania (I was there yesterday -- 2 copies, I bought one) for
    $34.99

    Just in case anyone is still looking, Rock 'N' Mania had two copies
    of this "Best Of ..." CD yesterday (2/11/87).
