WOW! What a good day, went to check the mail and there was an unexpected package for me and inside was a hard back book. The Doors by William Ruhlmann!!!!!! It was sent to me by a family friend who I had know idea he knew I like the Doors. Looks like I owe him now!
Haven't read it yet, as I have literally only just got it. But there are some great photos in it, most are the usual, but there are some I haven't seen before.
What a good day!!!!!!!

So far I am enjoying it.
It says Ray is born in 35 although he has given it as 39 and 42!

Ok so I have finished reading it. It is a pleasant read and basically an overview of the band and the times etc. Doesn't go into too much detail and is more of a photo book than anything. I really enjoyed it.
Three things stuck out for me...
Ray listed as being born in 35.
The counts name is listed as De Bretti.
It says that there was a box set of Doors material that came out in 1991. Is there such a box set????

That's how faaaaaaast thing are going for some Doors releases.
It kinda reminds me a couple of other more recent releases: What are their names?
Maa..., Maaat..., Maaatrix?
Isle of..., of... , of Wight?

SF, my promo "Selections from the forthcoming box set" says:
Elektra is proud to announce the long-awaited release of The Doors Box Set. this essential four disc collection contains nearly four and half hours of music, with three hours of previously unreleased material....
yes, it was long awaited!

Hilarious.... and sad!
So if we take that example, then the next box set, which was probably gonna be 2013, will more than likely be 2019!!!!

That gives Amazon time to improve as well!
