For years, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same music from the 1960s and '70s over and over again, via remasterings, repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast with multiple formats for every release. Each of the group's six albums has not only been re-remastered (this time by the remaining band members plus original engineer Bruce Botnick as the "40th anniversary mix"), but loaded up with a bevy of previously unreleased bonus tracks. But that's not it--for each album, there's a companion DVD, which includes a whole new 5.1 surround sound mix with more tracks, as well as the usual DVD extras, i.e., photo galleries, lyrics, and videos. That makes 12 discs, much of it essentially redundant. If you're cool with that, you're in for a treat. From the spookier, unissued version of "Indian Summer" to the entirely new tune "Push Push" and some super-rad footage of the band rehearsing L.A. Woman, it's easy to fall in love with this swirling, highly sexualized, and often brilliant band all over again. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

6CD/6DVD Boxed set celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary band: All their Jim Morrison-Era studio albums reissued in deluxe 2-disc editions with rare & previously unreleased bonus material, 5.1 mixes, bonus video content, and more!

Customer Reviews:

Help me out here..........2007-05-14

OK, now I purchased the Perception Box set several months ago. However, my discs are not the 40th anniversary mixes. They are, however, unbelievably remastered just as perfectly and everything exactly the same and clear as the 40th anniversary mixes, however, not a single track on any of the disks is the 40th anniversary version. They are just as remastered and perfect sounding as those on the 40th anniversary discs, however, they contain none of the extra musical or vocal parts in them as the 40th ones do. Were there two releases or do I have a set equivalent to having a book or coin that was printed upside down (if you understand what I mean). If someone can help me out here, that'd be great.

Ray needs a new house........2007-05-10

It was a nice afternoon in Dallas on that November day. President Kennedy's motorcade made that fateful turn in front of the Schoolbook Depository building and into Dealy Plaza, and after the cracking of gunfire everything about a world of hope and promise died.

To celebrate this moment in history Rhino records and WEA release "Perceptions" a 12 (6 cd and 6 DVD) set containing all of the studio albums from their self-titled debut to L.A. Woman. Each album has been re-mastered (again) but a new twist has been added. All the recordings have been re-mixed in 5.1 surround sound audio with bonus videos and tracks. Each album is placed in a nice digipack case with a booklet and liner notes with the CD's on the one side and DVD-A discs on the other.

If you're looking to upgrade from your vinyl than this is for you. It's a new experience made even more special due to the fact that the first album has been mastered at the correct speed this time as opposed to the hundred other times they could have done it. The 5.1 mixes a little dodgy on the first and second albums in fact "Strange Days" has some bizarre instrument placement, leveling problems, and the Jim Morrison's "moog" effected voice on the titled track is missing. This is strange (pardon the pun) due to the fact that this album was recorded on eight track, so mixing options were a little more flexible than the first album but it really doesn't match the feel of the original 2 track mix. But don't worry you have the 2 track mix on the CD side of the slipcase. As for the first album, it was cut on a 4 track machine so getting a surround mix is pretty much out of the question so the rear speakers have a lot of reverb to give more of a sense of space. Again if you bought the last box set you really do not need this unless you just got to hear these recordings in 5.1 then go right ahead. I bought this because I wanted to upgrade from my 2nd generation CD's.

Everything from "Waiting For The Sun" to "L.A. Woman sound pretty good in 5.1 but nothing earth shattering. I still believe that multichannel audio is still in its infancy and too many engineers are basically re-mixing just to show what can be done with 5.1 instead of tailoring a mix that enhances the listening experience without destroying the feel of the original 2 track mix.

Overall it is a decent box set albeit a bit pricey. And worth having if your upgrading but if that's not the case, save your money and get something else.

great boxset.......2007-05-09

Awesome boxset, loads of extras, great remastering job and a cool boxset design. If you want the best fullest versions of the Doors albums here's your set.

Absolutely worth the price and effort in getting this box set.......2007-04-06

Yes even having to pay the full price from Amazon (and not setling for a second-hand used item at a much lower price), it was definitely worth paying and waiting for this box set to arrive all the way to Japan. Highly recommended for all Doors Fans!!

Nice Box Set.......2007-04-05

I have collected The Doors up for some 30 years & again they release a box set of their classic studio albums. The packaging is superb & they added DVD's to the mix which could have been better but overall, a nice collection with bonus tracks included. If you really want a nice but simpler package, try the last box set with basically re-mixed material as these recordings. so what is next? the complete "Live" recordings box set? Ya never know ;-) Search "Judemac Forever" on msn.

Follow me down..........2007-05-16

Quite simply, outstanding!

I'll be the first to admit, at 28, I'm a young Doors fan. I grew up with kids in the late 80's and early 90's who worshipped the Doors, especially Jim, as their messiah, and I never got it. I've known their hits, enjoyed them, and that's kinda where it stopped. I didn't even own a Doors record (The Doors) until I was in college in '99... that's when I started to understand what was so great. However, I never investigated further.

This past year, at the end of '06, the Perceptions box set came out and I made it my mission to save and buy it, 'cause my old copy the The Doors sounded horrible. Well, before I knew it, it was gone, but thank you Warner for atleast re-issuing it ASAP in a slimmed down, frill-less box.

I now own the best box I've ever owned. I've read all the reviews for the LTD version, from people saying it's a waste of money compared to previous Doors boxes (fools!), to the the 5.1 mixes being poor (fools again!), to everything being redundant (yeah, but between 2 formats, not on the same disc or anything). Here's my opinion... this is AWESOME! Seriously. I haven't even touched the CD's yet. The 5.1 high-res audio mixes are blowing my mind, not to mention, for me, the exposure to a whole slew of songs I've never heard before. Sure, The Doors doesn't benefit much from 5.1, but the high-resolution is what makes it better than any other mix you've ever heard previously. Starting at Strange Days you can start to hear clever use 5.1. Never anything to be distracting, but maybe just some good ambience, or background vocals actually being in the back. The real fun starts at Waiting For The Sun and Soft Parade. Those two, in 5.1 high-res are leaving me breathless. I carry on rediculously to my girlfriend about the clarity of the mixes and little nuances to the point where she's just ignoring me!

If you can't tell yet, I'm a huge fan of DVD-A's and high-res sound (SACD as well). I've heard some people complain about 5.1 mixes, from saying that it ruins an original recording (too fancy, sounds swirling around), to there's nothing but abmience and it's nothing special (nothing fancy, no sounds swirling around). I think it's obvious when listenin gto this what the band and engineers intentions were. To place you in the studio, or in the case of some songs, sort of... transport you into the heart of the music. I got sucked in. I heard someone say it wasn't as good as Beatles' Love. Well, Love is all studio trickery my friend, based on original Beatles songs. That is not, in any way, how the Beatles intended for those songs to be heard. These are easily as good as DVD-A's for Eagles' Hotel California and Queen's Night At The Opera.

Anyway... enough rambling. Go to a high-end stereo shop, ask if they have it as a demo to hear it properly. Don't use MP3's as a basis for this. Borrow it from a friend, or better yet, trust a strangers opinion and buy this for an amazing listen. If you're already a Doors fan and you think you've heard this stuff before and this won't be a reason for you to dig out your collection any more often, you're wrong. Sell your old stuff (even your LP's, they're re-releasing those in August '07!) and get this. You'll never be happier.

Telling it like it was.......2002-08-06

All four Doors are interviewed by British rock journalist John Tobler, who has authored two books on The Doors and many other books on rock music. Ray Manzarek's interview is the most extensive, and he is the most articulate. His comments serve as a narrative on The Doors' history as well as offering insights into the group. He, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore were interviewed in 1979, around the time of the start of The Doors' revival. Jim Morrison, however, was interviewed at Britain's Woodstock of sorts, The 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, where The Doors performed. Jim's interview includes some of his thoughts on Woodstock, where The Doors were a noteworthy omission, as well as on The Isle of Wight Festival and The Doors' legendary performance at The Roundhouse in London in 1968. I am a big Doors fan, extremely well versed on them, and while some of the stuff discussed in the interviews and random snippets is old hat, other things are new to me, giving me more insight into this great group. Yes, The Doors were about life and love, not just darkness, says Ray. I really enjoyed this CD.

great interview.......2002-06-07

all 4 Doors talk! mix interviews from 1968, til 1978

Just Listen.......2000-01-06

All of the interviews were interesting to any fan of The Doors. Jim Morrison is a very intriguing person who was misunderstood by many. Ray is very intelligent along with the other members; and as for Robby and John, well I this interview adds to the very little knowledge that I have about them. I recommend this disk to any and every fan of The Doors. They are all GREAT musicians and I applaud the surviving Doors for continuing with their music. Music is a DOORway to another realm.(I think so anyway) KG:o}
