The Complete Studio Recordings (The Doors)
# The Complete Studio Recordings (The Doors)

The Complete Studio Recordings è un cofanetto del gruppo musicale The Doors pubblicato nel 1999; contiene tutti gli album del gruppo registrati con Jim Morrison (The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, L.A. Woman) e una compilation di brani inediti e rarità, Essential Rarities.

Tutte le canzoni contenute nella raccolta Essential Rarities erano già state pubblicate nel cofanetto The Doors Box Set del 1997 ad eccezione del brano "Woman Is a Devil" che era l'unico ancora inedito.

Tutti i brani sono in versione rimasterizzata. Il cofanetto è stato ripubblicato nel 2003 in versione cubo cartonato.

Il set non include i tre album post-Morrison Other Voices, Full Circle e An American Prayer, né i loro relativi singoli. Mancano inoltre alcuni brani che erano stati pubblicati come lati B di alcuni singoli: Treetrunk del singolo Get Up and Dance e (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further del singolo Love Her Madly, e una canzone di Willie Dixon cantata da Manzarek.
