Fans of iconic rock band The Doors are in for something special - the group’s final album (1971’s ‘L.A. Woman’), which includes the signature hits ‘L.A. Woman’, ‘Love Her Madly’ and ‘Riders on the Storm’, is being celebrated with a special two-CD release from Rhino and a behind-the-scenes DVD/Blu-Ray from Eagle Rock Entertainment.
The L.A. Woman 40th anniversary edition features the never-before-heard song ‘She Smells So Nice,’ which captures the band storming through a full-throttle original track, before segueing into the blues standard ‘Rock Me’. Recently discovered by producer Bruce Botnick while reviewing the ‘L.A. Woman’ session tapes, a teaser clip of ‘She Smells So Nice’ can be heard here.
In addition to ‘She Smells So Nice’, the second disc of the ‘L.A. Woman’ reissue includes eight never-before-heard versions of songs from the classic album. Alternate takes of ‘L.A. Woman,’ ‘Love Her Madly’ and ‘Riders on the Storm’ offer a fresh view on this landmark album, which was the group’s sixth straight Top 10. One of the best parts of the CD isn’t even the music – it’s the studio chatter inbetween. One segment in particular captures the fascinating moment of inspiration when Morrison suggests they add the now-iconic thunderstorm sound effects to the beginning of ‘Riders on the Storm’.
Rhino will also release ‘L.A. Woman: The Workshop Sessions’, a double LP featuring all of the previously unreleased material found on the CD collection on three sides of vinyl, with the fourth side featuring a laser etching of the original ‘Electric Woman’ art originally included with the L.A. Woman album.
Watch out for the CD and LP – both are available for pre-order now.
