It's funny this thread comes up now because I just pre-ordered this set last night after much debate myself. Corgy's is really the first completely negative feedback I've seen. Fremer thought both Strange Days and the debut were great. Whoever does "My Vinyl Review" felt the same. I've heard neither so far but love The Doors and am quite disappointed with the production quality of Rhino's lizard skin box, most of mine are on noisy vinyl.
I really want to believe Chad's QRP plant will be a reliable source of quality reissues. I applaud hid effort to do it right. I realize everything coming out of there hasn't been perfect however. I have Tea For the Tillerman, Shelby Lynn, Muddy Waters and Norah Jones from QRP and have been pretty happy. His packaging is first rate. My experience with these and the positive feedback played into my leap of faith on the Doors box.
Hopefully Corgy's experience is as isolated as it appears to be thus far. If I read more complaints I may end up canceling just as Albert did. I really hope in early October I have a beautifully packaged great sounding set arrive on my doorstep. The Doors are one of the few bands worthy of this outlay IMO.
