Fans of The Doors who were looking forward to the release of the 5 disc box set of ‘L.A. Woman’ have some bad news coming.

The planned deluxe edition of the Doors’ 1971 album L.A. Woman has been scrubbed by Rhino Records.

Original announced by the Doors’ manager back in September, it seems that Rhino has decided that a set of this size was not commercially viable.

The manager, Jeff Jampol, said in the group’s on-line forum “there are concerns at [Rhino’s] end” and “they want to be sure that not only is the market there, but do we have a place to distribute them?

It will probably be reduced to a 3-disc set (just the alternates/outtakes/chatter), and packaged so as to be affordable (i.e. NOT an expensive, all-out designed hard box).”

Currently on the schedule is a two-disc version of the album on January 24 followed by the three-disc version later in the year. Most likely, the three-disc album will be a limited edition with few or no repeated tracks. This, in essence, would equal the five-disc version but done in two separate albums.
