Limited Box Set, individually numbered limited edition of 18,000. Lift-top package designed to look like a vintage storage box. Seven songs on both CD and a 10-inch record that’s made to resemble a test pressing (recently mastered by noted Doors engineer Bruce Botnick). Postcards. Set list handwritten by John Densmore. Liner notes included from Sunset Strip legend Ronnie Haran-Mellen. Five black and white 8x10 reprints of unpublished photos. Before The Doors took the music scene by storm in 1967, they were the house band at the London Fog, a Sunset Strip dive bar located just footsteps away from the world famous Whisky a Go Go, the future home of many of the band’s most legendary performances. LONDON FOG 1966 is a brand new Collector’s Edition boxed set and virtual time capsule that features unearthed audio recorded at the club in May 1966. Previously unreleased and not even known to exist until recently, this marks the earliest recordings of the band and finds the quartet mixing blues covers with early versions of Doors originals. Like many of the band’s early concerts, the show captured on this deluxe set reflects the group’s deep love for the blues with covers of standards like Muddy Waters’ Rock Me and I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man. The set also includes raw performances of Baby, Please Don’t Go (Big Joe Williams), Don’t Fight It (Wilson Pickett), and Lucille (Little Richard). Along with the unreleased music, the set is packed with memorabilia and historic liner notes to provide a true time capsule of that fabled night at the London Fog.
