The Doors now make their legendary, long out-of-print compilation <i>Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine</i> available for the first time as a 2-CD set. Originally released in 1972, this gold-certified double album was the first compilation to be released after Jim Morrison's death in 1971. <br><br>The 22 songs that appear on the collection provide a wide-ranging introduction to the music recorded between 1967-71 by the original quartet, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison. The band's longtime engineer Bruce Botnick remastered the music heard on this reissue, which takes its title from a lyric in "The End. "<br><br>Mixing familiar cuts and deep tracks from six studio albums, <i>Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine</i> touches on everything from hits like "Break On Through" and "Love Her Madly" to unexpected delights like "The Spy" from <i>Morrison Hotel</i> and "Running Blue" from <i>The Soft Parade</i>. <br><br>Adding yet another dimension to the album's track list is the inclusion of two stellar b-sides: "Who Scared You" which appeared in March 1969 as the flipside to "Wishful Sinful, " and a cover of Willie Dixon's " (You Need Meat) Don t Go No Further" which was paired with the smash "Love Her Madly" in 1971.
