20-07 will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of The Doors eponymous debut album. In time to pay respect to such a crucial band in rock history, Hyperion Books is releasing, The Doors: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics by the late Danny Sugerman. The book features great photos as well as commentary from Sugerman who co-authored the legendary Doors biography No One Here Gets Out Alive as well as managed the band after Jim Morrison’s death.
An essential companion for fans of the Doors, this comprehensive collection of their lyrics includes live material and the posthumously issued poetry album by Jim Morrison, An American Prayer. The compilation also contains rare photographs, brought together by Danny Sugerman.

'Forever Changing: The Golden Age Of Elektra Records - 1963 to 1973' is out in November, and the compilation will also feature tracks by The Doors, Queen, Carly Simon, The Stooges and MC5 among others. The collection focuses on the heyday of the Elektra label, the brainchild of Jac Holzman, who handed over the reins in 1973 at the LA-based label after an astonishing period of success. All tracks will be newly remastered, and at least half of the songs included have never before been available on CD. The book will include a special foreword by Holzman and new interviews with the artists plus contributions from Elektra insiders and fellow artists. In addition to the regular version, a special limited edition in a 12-inch box, is being prepared that will include goodies such as a lavishly illustrated hardback book to accompany the discs, four art prints of classic Elektra sleeves and a set of postcards.
