In a statement, Krieger welcomed the acquisition. “After 58 years, and the most magical of times, I’ve decided to sell my share of The Doors to Primary Wave,” he said. “This will enable me to help the many charities I’ve been involved with, and some new ones too. I know Primary Wave cares about music, art, and about helping legacies go to even bigger levels.
In November (2022) The Doors have released unheard Song ‘Paris Blues’ online -Audio
An original blues song written by the band; the track was recorded during one of the band’s recording sessions for either The Soft Parade or L.A. Woman (no one seems to remember).
That means “Paris Blues” was likely recorded sometime between 1968 and the end of 1970, but the track’s journey took a turn from there.
“The master tape of the song was lost and the only surviving copy was given to Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek,” the official message continued. “Sadly, this copy was partially damaged by his son Pablo (a toddler at the time), who recorded over a few short parts. Now, through some creative editing, the song has been rescued from obscurity for the new album.”
That new album is Paris Blues a limited-edition blues-themed compilation set to be released on Nov. 25 as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event. The set will be available on translucent blue vinyl, with an original cover painting by guitarist Robby Krieger. (UCR)
