‘L.A. Woman’, THE DOORS last studio album with Jim Morrison will be reissued as a 50th anniversary 3-CD+ vinyl LP deluxe edition. The album was recorded over six days at The Workshop, the band’s rehearsal space on Santa Monica Boulevard in November 1970 and received critical and commercial acclaim when released in April the following year. ‘L.A. Woman’ is home to the brilliant title track, ‘Love Her Madly’, ‘Riders on the Storm’ and seven other songs.
For the ”L.A. Woman (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)”, the album has been ‘newly remastered’ (again) by The Doors’ longtime engineer and mixer Bruce Botnick. This is included on CD 1 and the vinyl LP.
CD’s 2 and 3 feature unreleased studio outtakes including the previously unheard original demo of ‘Riders on the Storm’ which was recently discovered in the band’s vault, having been assumed lost for decades. The demo recording was done with producer Paul A. Rothchild, who famously referred to it as “cocktail music”. This led to Rothchild departing the project, with the band opting to co-produce the album with Botnick.
