Box Sets?

I'll add a new category (Box Sets), because a) they are not really albums, and b) there are a lot of them, k? 128.214.133.2 (talk) 09:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doors Demos

There seems to be incessant edit warring coming from Italy regarding the band "Doors Origins That Recorded Acetate", plus a release by this non-existant 'band' called, you guessed it, "Doors Origins Original Acetate Demo Album". Or something of that ilk. No such release exists. In fact, no such band exists. I removed it (again); I expect it to reappear (again) within a day or two. Instead of endlessly inserting a non-existing "album" by a non-existing "band", why not discuss the issue? There are Italian-English online translators out there, if needed. 93.41.33.117 (talk) 21:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Doors Original Acetate Demos

The Doors Original Acetate Demos is the first studio recording of the American rock band The Doors. It was recorded on September 2, 1965 at World Pacific Jazz Studio is Los Angeles, California, during studio free time that came from a trade-off on an Aura Records deal with Rick & the Ravens (the name of the band before it became The Doors).[1] These are The Doors' original demos that they recorded before being signed to Elektra. The six songs on the demo are all Morrison originals. The band immediately begins to locally shop the demos around after the three hour session. Jim is delighted after hearing his voice on a record for the first time. [2]|93.41.33.117 (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Moonlight Drive"
  • "Hello I Love You"
  • "Summers Almost Gone"
  • "My Eyes Have Seen You"
  • "End of The Night"
  • "Go Insane (A Little Game)"
Yes, we all know the above. In fact, the majority of bands record demo songs before they get signed to a label. This has nothing to do with the released discography of any band. There exists no such album. I do not know how to make this any more clearer, so I am going to repeat it one more time. There exists no such album. You can re-edit the article as much as you want, it will not change the fact there exists no such album. It does not exist. Changing the article will not make it magically appear, either. It was never released, since it does not exist. Yes, they recorded the songs. No, it is not an album. Yes, it was a studio recording. No, it is not a released album. It is not. Please stop inserting it as an "album" into the article, primarily because it really is not an album. Really, it is not. (By the way; the band that recorded the songs was still called Rick & the Ravens, by the way. At Morrison's behest they changed their name to the Doors mid-October 1965, just prior to Krieger joining the line-up. They did not change their name prior to recording the demo songs.) 128.214.133.2 (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Break On Through (To the Other Side) chart position

Per Whitburn, "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" bubbled under for one week (April 8, 1967) at #126. See Billboard magazine. Piriczki (talk) 16:17, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, inaccurate information regarding the chart position of "Break On Through" was published in the book Break On Through: The Life and Death of Jim Morrison where it describes the single "stalling out at 106 in Billboard." The error was repeated in subsequent Doors-related books and in the film When You're Strange, all of which use similar language referring to the record stalling or stalled out at 106. The appropriate publication to cite as a source for Billboard chart information is Billboard magazine. As cited above in Billboard, and confirmed by Whitburn's Bubbling Under Singles & Albums, "Break On Through" peaked at 126, not 106. Piriczki (talk) 14:28, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0RW73BdHc in the documentary DVD When you're Strange Part 2, minute 8:46 features the following credits the Single Peak chart positions in the United States 106. The Documentary include producers Dick Wolf, John Beug, Jeff Jampol, and Peter Jankowski. The documentary first screened at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 2009. It received somewhat favorable reviews from that showing, however the narration (by director DiCillo) was singled out by most viewers as very seriously flawed for its monotonic delivery. Due to the rash of complaints about the narration, Johnny Depp was hired to redub it. A few months later, DiCillo pronounced the film "just about locked", and announced that there would be a showing of the new "redux" version. It debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival on Sunday, June 21, 2009. The completed film was also shown at the London Film Festival on October 16-18, 2009. The film was released in theaters on April 9, 2010, with a soundtrack release on April 6, 2010. It was released in Canada on April 15, 2010. PBS showed this film as part of its series American Masters on May 12, 2010. The film was released on DVD on June 29, 2010. In France the film, distributed by MK2, was released under its original title and received an excellent reception.The film is written and directed by Tom DiCillo (“Johnny Suede,” “Living in Oblivion”). Narrated by Johnny Depp. Overall Krieger felt ‘really happy’ about how the film has turned out, crediting in particular the editing work. The surviving members of the band decided not to get too involved in the project to try to get the right neutral balance that an outsider would try to achieve."

The film has been nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Nonfiction Series following its airing on American Masters on PBS. In December of 2010 the film was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Video. Subsequently, they won the award in February 2011. the documentary has been presented in the best mondial move in the world and under the superviour of Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and producted Dick Wolf, John Beug, Jeff Jampol, and Peter Jankowski. At the end it is impossible that production doesn't know that the single Break On Through has the position one hundred and six.Daria Montella (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
