The Doors iconic, self-titled debut LP is arriving in March from Rhino in a deluxe 3-CD/LP configuration celebrating its 50th anniversary. The package includes remastered stereo and mono mixes of The Doors, a vinyl version of the mono mix and a live album highlighting a performance at San Francisco's The Matrix from March 7th, 1967 — barely two months after the original LP release.

The Doors: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is packaged in a 12x12 hardcover book featuring rare/previously unseen photos and detailed liner notes from Rolling Stone contributing editor David Fricke. The reissue marks the CD debut of the original mono mix, with the stereo mix available on CD for the first time in a decade.

The live Matrix album features eight tracks from the Jim Morrison-led quartet's groundbreaking 1967 LP, including psychedelic rock anthems like "Break On Through (To the Other Side)," "Light My Fire" and "The End." The recordings were sourced from the recently unearthed original tapes, previously thought to be lost. (The 2008 double-live LP, Live at the Matrix 1967, was assembled from a third-generation source.)
