The album’s original mono mix was also remastered for this set and is making its CD debut here.

An LP-version of the mono mix is also included. The third disc features live performance from The Matrix in San Francisco recorded just weeks after The Doors was released.

The Matrix recordings heard on this deluxe edition were sourced from the recently discovered, original tapes.
