February 25th (Tuesday), 1969 In The Studio - Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA The uncut Soft Parade sessions 01. Whiskey, Mystics & Men '97 promo 2:34 02. Whiskey, Mystics & Men Ray-mellotron 4:58 03. Love Me Tender 2:38 04. Rock Is Dead #1 10:21 05. Woman Is A Devil 6:21 06. No impablermations, let's roll! 2:40 07. Boogie All Night Long 4:40 08. Rock and Roll Woman 5:23 09. Queen of the Magazines 4:03 10. Rock Is Dead - conclusion 23:56 NOTES First, protecting this material from misidentifying any part of them - falsely - as offending tracks, here's what I surely know: only two tracks emerged from 'these' sessions into commercial circle. Both featured on the offical 1997 4CD Box Set compilaion of Doors rarities. The released version of 'Whiskey, Mystics & Men' is a totally different mix than any versions that can be found here. Plus, in the box set booklet it's dated to 1970, recorded at Elektra Studios, LA. The other released 'track' which is really form this rehearsal is an extremely butchered and edited version of 40 mins of material where the band played and experimented with 'Rock Is Dead'. That much cut version resulted in a 16 minute long interpretation. Although this recording here is excellent in terms of quality, these two released tracks are far superior to them. Buda SOURCE info taken from the orig. file ------------- Seeded late '05 The Doors Missing Links Memorial Records, New York Catalog #: Memorec 403 Release: 1994 Running Time: 67:37 SHN formatted files (one per track) of the Missing Links cD (first release with no bonus tracks) were obtained from two sources (both had pressed silvers). The SHNs were converted to WAV, merged into a single large WAV (with WavMerge), and then the two sources were compared with EAC's "compare" tool. They compared exactly bit-for-bit (except for ~100 extra samples at the beginning due to different CD drive offsets). CD's properly burned using these SHNs should be exact replicas of the original pressed silvers. The back cover of the CD has the following track listing: 01. Whiskey, Mystics & Men #1 02. The Soft Parade Intro #1 03. The Soft Parade Intro #2 04. Whiskey, Mystics & Men #2 05. Love Me Tender 06. Rock Is Dead #1 07. Me and the Devil Blues 08. Rock Is Dead #2 09. Queen of the Magazines 10. Pipeline 11. Rock Is Dead #3 12. Rock Me Baby 13. Mystery Train 14. Rock Is Dead #4 However, there are only 10 physical tracks on the CD and after listening to what is actually on each track, I came up with the following titles for the 10 tracks: 01. Whiskey, Mystics & Men '97 promo 2:34 02. Whiskey, Mystics & Men Ray-mellotron 4:58 03. Love Me Tender 2:38 04. Rock Is Dead #1 10:21 05. Woman Is A Devil 6:21 06. No impablermations, let's roll! 2:40 07. Boogie All Night Long 4:40 08. Rock and Roll Woman 5:23 09. Queen of the Magazines 4:03 10. Rock Is Dead - conclusion 23:56 These track titles are added to the end of each track's file name and included as track titles in the CDTEXT field of the cuesheet. Sources: Missing Tapes (Live Storm) (67:39) Missing Links (Memorial Records) (67:37) I'm not sure which CD came out first, but it's obvious that one is a digital clone of the other -- both CDs are identical with the exception of the covers and one extra second of dead time on each of the two tracks of The Missing Tapes CD. Both CDs contain the complete unedited Rock Is Dead jam session from February 25, 1969. Quality is excellent and if you haven't heard this session before, definitely pick up a copy! Some of the gems on this CD are Jim singing Love Me Tender; Whiskey, Mystics and Men; Me and the Devil Blues; Queen Of The Magazines (or The Naked Woman Song), and the ultimate version of Rock Is Dead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following short excerpt relating to the session is taken from a Rockmine magazine interview with Robby Krieger at Blake's Hotel in London on the afternoon of November lst, 1983 Rockmine: Let's see, "Rock Is Dead" and "No Limits, No Laws"... Krieger: Uh huh. Well, "Rock Is Dead" we did one evening in L.A. I think we were in the midst of recording ... "Soft Parade" I believe and it was just one drunken evening of everybody going crazy. Rockmine: There's a rumour that that was at one time scheduled for a complete album. Krieger: Well, not really. Some people had it in their minds that it would make a good album but it wasn't really good enough for release. Some of it was but as a whole, I don't think... It was a good idea for a concept but it was really just more or less a demo.
