"A Collection" is a comprehensive six-CD box set by the Doors, jointly released by Elektra and Rhino Records on July 5, 2011. This collection is a complete anthology of the Doors' albums released before Jim Morrison's death in 1971. It includes the albums remastered for their 40th anniversary editions by Bruce Botnick, the band's longtime engineer and producer.
Each album in the box set is presented in its original sequence, maintaining the chronological order of the Doors' discography. The packaging replicates the original artwork with paper sleeves, providing a nostalgic homage to the band's iconic album covers.
It's important to note that "A Collection" does not include the bonus tracks found in the individual 40th anniversary editions of the albums. Instead, the focus is on presenting the core albums in their purest form, capturing the essence of the Doors' music as it was originally released and celebrated during the band's active years.
For fans and collectors alike, "A Collection" serves as a definitive archive of the Doors' early catalog, offering a remastered listening experience that honors their legacy and musical impact. It stands as a testament to the enduring influence of the Doors and their contribution to rock music history.
