So important for this to be available to the masses, and at record stores. My first audiophile record was the AP 45 LA woman 4 years ago as a 29 year old. Loved it and it completely changed my record buying habits. I have spent thousands on audiophile records and OG’s since that first purchase.

I just gotta say I love listening to someone speak passionately about something they love. I can't believe there are people out there who will look at an enthusiasm such as you have for great sounding records and see it as anything other than a good thing, absolutely blows my mind.

Got the box, can’t, wait to crack it open. My favorite band as well. Real glad to hear you voice your opinion on (in general) your preference of 33 over 45 rpm. I’m right there with you for the same reasons. Thanks Mike.

On a highly resolving system, I’ve compared two of the Rhino versions thus far, the self titled debut and LA Woman against the AP 45/s. On the Rhinos you get none of the feel of the studio, the air, and the musical event i.e., the emotional statement is lacking in comparison to the AP/s. The Rhinos are detailed but the music strangely neutered. Jim’s voice is also much more textured and nuanced on the AP/s. There’s simply more slam and guts on the AP 45/s. I’m happy to have the Rhino box set as I love the band and the visual aesthetic of the box set is impressive but if I really want to connect to the music on a primal Dionysian level - which is what the band desired - I’m sticking with the AP 45/s.

I totally agree Mike. The rhino hifi sounds exactly like the instruments actually sound. Kevin’s system is the most transparent passing of the tape if you ask me. I like em all. The 45 infinite set and the rhino hifi. But I agree I will probably reach for hifi most often. I can hear way further into the tape with Kevin’s cut. Waiting for the sun sounds the best to me on the hifi. But they all are amazing. Did Kevin make 45 cuts at the same time? That may be the true ultimate. I forgot. The UHQR of LA Woman was pretty great too if you want a little more low end.

This is a great review - you are #1 a fan of the band of the band and it shows that alone makes me trust your opinion on these - #2 you own a record store and have seen everything under the sun (and you run the store well) and #3 you have a great system so I know this is being heard at its best - I got this set mainly because I am a fan of the band and I just wanted all of them and be done - I probably would have gotten all the 45s in a box back in the day but I missed on it - I have highly considered the 45s - but I am super happy with this box! Once again great video!

Great review, Mike. I agree that the sound on these records is stellar... for the most part. I was lucky to be able to order the set, but unfortunately, two of the LPs are defective: "Strange Days" has a nasty dishwarp, and "Waiting for the Sun" has terrible intermittent surface noise, especially on side 1. At the moment, Rhino is not able to replace the discs because they are sold out.

Kevin is unquestionably our eras master, I have an awful lot of his pressing since the DSOTM 30th anniversary and I’m sure some before I haven’t clicked. Matt Luthens and Sidney Meyer have definitely learnt his craft, they are suitable legacy’s. You’re right, just as Doug Sax had an incredible all tube system, Kevin has followed on from that and it shows every time.

And I'm VERY glad to learn that the records sound better in the 33 Rhino-format - and not AP's "break-up-the-music-to-achieve-a-slightly-better-sound". I wish this 45-mania would stop...😉

1/19/18 is us (Plangent) at Bruce's. I know none of the vinyl masses will bleloebr it but the Rhino digital on HDTracks and Quboz/ streaming kills. The tape stretch is inaudible in the Plangent version, it's totally repaired. I don't know how the vinyl could avoid the stretch without using the digital .

i appreciate mike's enthusiasm. i think he's telling the truth as he hears it. and, at the same time, it makes sense to hear from multiple people and test it out ourselves if we can. it's a human thing to have bias. and mike himself notes the conflicts of interest.. his initials in the deadwax, friends and business partners with the mastering engineer. is it possible those things could influence anyone's sense of something? does chad always think his records are the best? of course, they are to his ears. why else would he put them out? in the end, it's all for fun! so it's cool to hear one person's journey and experience with his favorite record / band.

I do not have the Rhino cuts, but I have all of the AP 45RPM albums and a combination of OG and repress vinyl. Regardless of any improvements - I'm done buying Doors reissues. Unfortunately for Rhino, these alums will be filled next to The Beatles 1964 US album boxset in my mind in the "not worth it" section. FWIW - Waiting for the Sun was reissued for a DCC gold compact disc in the 1990's and the tape had the dropouts mentioned on the master. Steve Hoffman said that's the way the master tape was. I also wondered why the AP did not have the dropouts.

My first audiophile was Dark Side of the Moon MoFi and Abbey Road MoFi, both bought used in great shape when CDs were the rage and people were unloading vinyl. I think 20 bucks for each around 1986.

I know you don’t have a shootout video for that album yet, so maybe you’re saving your thoughts for that.

Regarding LA Woman, I can deduce that you prefer the Rhino HiFi over the AP UHQR since you preferred the AP 45RPM significantly over the UHQR. But in what ways do you prefer the Rhino HiFi over the UHQR specifically? I have all the AP 45's and this new KPG box but would be very interested in hearing in what ways the $125 UHQR is bested by a $40 record. Will make for an entertaining read amongst individuals trying to convince themselves the $125 UHQR was worth it.

My Rhino box was delivered Friday, but unfortunately inside the sleeve of the self-titled first album, the actual vinyl disc was Strange Days. All the other sleeves (including the one for Strange Days) included their proper albums, so I got two copies of Strange Days and am missing a copy of the debut. I emailed Rhino about this, saying I’d prefer not to have to send back replace any outer sleeves and break up my set with all the same limited edition number and is there any way I could just trade out my extra copy of strange days sans outer sleeve for just a vinyl disc of the first album, but I’ve not heard back from them yet.

For clear & obvious reasons to many folks around the 🌎, we have anticipated your review on this 🏆 Rhino 33RPM reissue box set. Your thorough & honest deliberation on this set plus the comparison to AP's 45RPMs of which I own all but 1 reissue from Chad. Though I've not listened to each new reissue TWELVE TIMES(!), I've played each once so far. Didn't even notice the jackets were #'d like my box, LOL. Again, I was happy when you hinted about your trip for a few days earlier this year to sit-in w/ KG AND attend his Cohearent Audio (2nd) LP release party, of which I too bought a copy of Anthony Wilson's "Hackensack West". Kudos Mike. PS MY initials (=ME) are also on the deadwax!! ; )

The first album was released in mono. ONLY mono. The 'stereo' version was released 8 months later, presumably as an afterthought. I remember buying these LPs when they were released in NYC. The first album was meant to be heard in mono. The later stereo issue is not as punchy and real-sounding as the mono version. And if you mono it down, it doesn't sound at all like the mono release. It is like an old Beatles album, it's a panned stereo mix. The second and further albums had real stereo mixes and releases. Just saying.

I got the Doors in stereo for my birthday in August 67. Didn’t know that was the first release. Still I prefer the album in stereo. I have an OG mono too. It’s nowhere as good as the stereo imho

Mike, thanks for the review. Love The Doors also! That Felt Forum you suggested is awesome. Question: You having such excellent gear and I would think it not too difficult to achieve with additional equipment, would you ever consider doing sample comparison videos? I think many in your audience would be very appreciative of actual audio evidence combined with your expert opinions on the sound quality of The Doors to get a complete assessment of sound quality. Since The Doors are your favorite group of all time, maybe a nicely done sample comparison video as at least one off would be an exceptional video to show exactly why these Rhino’s are so much better. Take care 🎸👍🏻

I think I can help answer this one. How about the guy who has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, a lifetime in the industry, an obsessive love of the band and an in depth knowledge of the instruments used has listened to all the options countless times and decided, and explained in great detail over 35 minutes in a video that it's due to 10% convenience and 90% sound quality. Where's your video on the RTI box and we can compare?

Would have been great and interesting box set to listen to if Kevin set up his all tube set up to cut this. But great that this is an awesome cut using his ‘normal’ setup.

How many Doors 1st album re-releases do we need? The music/vinyl industry becomes more and more lazy and boring! It will always pale in comparison to the Analogue Productions 45rpm.
