THE DOORS – Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine [Remastered] (2014)

*

“Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine” was THE DOORS second compilation album ever originally released in 1972 and first appeared after the death of Jim Morrison. The album’s title is a lyric from the song “The End”.
Strangely, “Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine” never was reissued until now, presented in a Deluxe Double CD Remastered, published by Elektra Records / Rhino.

There’s has been countless The Doors compilations in the last 40 years, but none – in my opinion – of the quality of this “Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine”, which, for the fans, is one of the ‘real’ greatest hits approved by the band back in 1972.

I’d said none in this quality because this remaster (really taken from the vault – original tapes) sounds incredibly pristine and with attention to respect the original ‘LP vinyl warmness’ and stereophonic of the era.

Additionally, two of the songs on the compilation, “Who Scared You” and “(You Need Meat) Don’t Go No Further” which were originally released as B-sides were not included on regular albums.
“Who Scared You” appeared in the The Doors: Box Set in 1997, but in an edited version obviously not taken from the original tapes and sounds like crap.
“(You Need Meat) Don’t Go No Further” appeared in the 2006 Perception box set, but again, the cut presented on this remaster is far superior.

“Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine” Deluxe Double CD Remastered is a must have in any Rock collection, a comprehensive resume from one of the most influential bands of all time; The Doors.
The excellent sound, the high quality artwork and the unbeatable price of this 2CD package invites you to grab the best The Doors greatest hits release ever.
A must have.
