3CD+LP deluxe edition • Unreleased tracks • remastered

The Doors / The Soft Parade deluxe


The Doors’ fourth studio album, The Soft Parade, will be expanded and reissued as a 50th anniversary 3CD+LP deluxe edition in October.

The record was actually released 50 years ago yesterday and the new edition offers a newly remastered version of the album (by Bruce Botnick) on the first CD with a bonus track of the B-side ‘Who Scared You’.

The second CD offers more than a dozen unreleased tracks, with highlights including stripped down ‘Doors Only’ versions of five tracks where the ‘controversial’ horns and strings have been removed from the original versions (these are ‘Tell All The People,’ ‘Touch Me,’ ‘Wishful Sinful,’ ‘Runnin’ Blue,’ and ‘Who Scared You.’)

Also, interestingly, this set features three of those stripped-back versions with new guitar parts added by Robby Krieger (‘Touch Me,’ ‘Wishful Sinful,’ and ‘Runnin’ Blue’).

The Doors / The Soft Parade deluxe

The third CD only features four tracks, but one of those is the complete version of ‘Rock Is Dead’. This hour-long bar-band R&B blues jam was previously edited when included on the The Doors’ 1997 box set.

The collection is a, a-hem, a ‘limited edition’ of 15,000 individually numbered copies and is presented similarly to the Waiting For The Sun or The Doors deluxe editions. In other words, it’s a large format hardcover book format and includes a vinyl version of the album and sleeve notes by David Fricke. A single CD remaster is also available (that doesn’t include the bonus B-side).

The Soft Parade 50th anniversary deluxe will be reissued on 1 November 2019 (previuosly 18 October).
