AFZ 037-2 is what you need.

"The original pressing (AFZ 037) was defective as there were crackles on Roadhouse Blues. The replacement pressing (AFZ 037-X) suffered the same issue. The second replacement pressing (AFZ 037-2) does not have the defects of the previous two.



If you purchase this disc from any retailer, be sure to contact AF to get the replacement."

What's With the Crackles?

"There has been much discussion elsewhere of the crackles that are heard in "Roadhouse Blues" and AF's failure to do a proper recall-and-replacement. (The second pressing also contained the crackles.) AF's quality control is seriously lacking -- caveat emptor."

Steve Hoffman mastered The Doors gold discs

"For those who love the music of The Doors, the DCC Gold Discs mastered by Steve Hoffman are the very best 16/44.1 redbook CD versions. Hoffman used the original master tapes for the transfers. No attempts were made unduly boost highs, mids or lows. His approach has always been primum non nocere (first do no harm). The results are true and honest. This is what audiophile recordings should be.



The only problem has been that there were only four DCC Gold Discs of The Doors recordings ("The Doors", "L.A. Woman", "Strange Days" and "Waiting For The Sun"). Now this has been remedied by the Audio Fidelity Gold Disc releases of "The Soft Parade" and "Morrison Hotel". All meticulously mastered by Steve Hoffman from the original master tapes. The results are glorious to say the least. Both numbered discs have a few bonus tracks, but that's not why I bought them.



I am grateful to own all six The Doors gold discs mastered by Hoffman. I would highly recommend purchasing both gold discs before they disappear from inventory."
