Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 13, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2008 Anyone order the limited edition box set of The Doors? It is due out on 4/22, but the date has kept moving back for about a year now. The vinyl is supposedly all ready pressed at RTI, and is ready to be boxed or has already been boxed. The issue started off being a run of 2,500 I believe, then they said that was for US and because of demand they were doing going to do a world wide issue of 12,500, numbered, limited edition. During the last couple of weeks the price has risen from 150.00 to between 180 and 200 per box at Acoustic Sounds, Elusive and Direct Music. The last time I checked today you could still get it on Amazon for 150. Just wondered who else may have ordered this. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I ordered it about 6 months ago. Maybe longer. Are they still honoring the original price at ED? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ordered from Acoustic Sounds before the price raise. Can't wait to get the set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ordered a set with the book about 6 months ago too. Also Zep Mothership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ordered a set with the book about 6 months ago too. Also Zep Mothership. Same here. I'm looking forward to both! Looks like the Mothership CD set was issued on time. Anyone here have a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Looking at a recent Elusive Disc receipt, it still shows The Doors Box Set on preorder for $149.99. I suppose they are grandfathering us in at the original price even though we've yet to be billed. Anyone want to buy my preorder for $19.99? That's a savings of $10.(wink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrop Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Guilty! Ordered in october along with a few other lps on backorder from acoustic sounds. The majority of a large order shipped at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 So what do we get for our extra $8? Maybe a lower serial #??? I'm just glad they are finally going to ship the set. I hope it's all that it's cracked up to be. I'm holding off selling my originals and Japanese pressings until I hear these new LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 23, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2008 Mine is showing as shipping but I will believe it when I see it. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Mine is "In Transit" from Elusive Disc. It will be delivered by UPS tomorrow, just in time for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just got an email from Amazon that mine were supposed to ship today but there is a problem... basically they don't have them yet. So I guess for the extra $8 yours actually shipped on time. I'm thinking we might be in for a long wait. [] Let me know what you think of these, Gary.

garymd Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Got it. Full report after the weekend. BTW - Not overly thrilled with the serial # I got considering I ordered it when it was first announced. 2,617 out of 12,500 is not too bad I suppose but I was hoping for 3 digits.

Wardsweb Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 OK I'll play. Just ordered it from Amazon for $142 with free shipping. If nothing else it will look nice next to my Beatles MOFI box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2toobs Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My local record store got it in today. Couldn't afford it though. He's asking $174. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 WOW! I first played side one of Strange Days because it's the worst of all the original pressings (IMO). Never had any bass to speak of and always sounded thin to my ears. Now, still no bass and it sounded like the speed was a bit fast on Love Me 2 Times. The difference is that there is now way more detail. It's not an LP you'd use to show off your system but it's fun to play and hear all the new stuff. On to side two (edit: I meant side one!) of Morrison Hotel. This is one I know VERY well and the original red label is spectacular. This version just leaves my NM original in the dust. It is AWESOME!! The bass lovers will just love this pressing and all that new detail is there too. After hearing that side, I'm pretty sure the rest will be great. I hope to play at least one side of each LP this weekend including the Mono. Big thumbs up on this set so far![Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 That is great news! Mine just got shipped yesterday and I should have it next Wednesday. Unfortunately, I won't get to hear it until the 8th or so, when I get back from Va. Now I'm stoked for this box set!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
