THE DOORS VERY RARE - NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE BOX 4xVINYL BOX SET EX/VG+
Not On Label / Unofficial release 1979
Extremely rare and full of unique fascinating insight into The Doors and Jim Morrison, this box set is in great condition.
The four vinyl discs have only had a handful of plays, I recorded it onto cassette when I got it in the late 80's.
A couple of sides have a few wispy marks but mostly they are NM. The labels are blank, white and clean with no spindle wear. One has pencil '4A' written on one side and '4B' on the other (see pics). The etchings in the run off confirm which side is which.
The box is VG+. It has a bumped corner and a small split which are shown in the pics.
The insert is VG+. It has no damage or serious creasing, just a little foxing (see pics)
Please contact me if you'd like to see more pictures or have any questions about this amazing and rare item.
Discogs says this about the release :-
"An excellent four (4) hour radio show hosted by Jim Ladd, disc jockey and Doors' fan.
To quote cduniverse.com, “Los Angeles disc jockey Jim Ladd's syndicated 1979 documentary on the Doors has since passed into legend among the band's fans... ('Doors' director Oliver Stone has one he used for research).”
The cduniverse.com site goes on to say, “Typically, rock bio programs for radio are little more than aural versions of Teen Beat, rarely delving beyond the surface appeal of a given artist. Los Angeles-based DJ Jim Ladd's aptly titled Inner View was the first nationally syndicated music and interview program to raise the intelligence bar several notches. Ladd's No One Here Gets Out Alive -- originally broadcast on North American radio stations during the late summer of 1979 -- is an audio biography of the Doors as told by those who lived it. This show marks the first time that John Densmore, Robbie Krieger, and Ray Manzarek spoke candidly regarding the band's origins and their even more colorful lyricist, Jim Morrison. Ladd's narration guides listeners through a profile that is as much sociological as it is historical or musical. This results in an engaging listen for new recruits as well as those familiar with the folklore surrounding the Doors and their craft. In addition to providing a more or less chronological history of the band, each disc examines a specific motif found within the Doors' music. The songs substantiate the revealing interview sound bites between Ladd, the surviving Doors, their band manager Bill Siddons, and concert promoter Bill "Uncle Bobo" Graham, as well as band confidant and author Danny Sugerman. There is no padding or filler on No One Here Gets Out Alive, making the three-hour running time seem infinitely shorter. "
