I have every Doors cd ever made and I own all the original vinyl and I can tell you strange days cover looks exactly the same as my 1st pressing lp from 12/67. The LA Woman is different cause the first pressing was made with a window covered by a clear piece of plastic with their faces printed on the plastic. The ends we're also rounded on the jacket. The yellow background was from the paper sleeve inside the Jacket. Later pressing where square cardboard like your mini box set cover. The cd set you bought sounds exact like my original vinyl records. Technically those are just all the Morrison era studio albums. They made 3 without Jim, Other Voices & Full circle and their 9th and final studio album was called American Prayer which was the surviving Doors playing music to Jims recorded poetry. Also with the 6 Morrison albums was a greatest hits (13) and a live album Absolutely Live. Those 2 along with all six studio albums were the 8 records under contract with Electra records. Cool set and enjoy! Cheers :)
In my opinion, these remixes sound much better remastered than the original remasters on the Perception box set that came out a few years earlier. I have both as well as the original mixes, and this newer collection sounds really fresh, with details not on the originals. It is great to hear a different perspective.
This is supposed to be a no frills budget priced collection for someone who just wants their 6 main albums with Jim Morrison at an affordable price. If you are looking for more bells & whistles there have already been several other box sets with more elaborate packaging and extra material such as 1999's The Complete Studio Recordings and 2006's Perception.
Yeah but that's why it's called "A Collection" and not something like "Complete Collection". But in my opinion this is a great set, with all the studio recordings including Jim. Especially for the price. Six albums, all remastered, for like £18/€21. And also a booklet, which is rare in these kind of boxsets.

What’s your favorite album by them
Later versions of the vinyl ( ie 45 Rpm ) had the Elektra butterfly tops and there were greener versions of the mustard labels as well

Is the first album the original or the uncensored version?
Uncensored and at the correct speed.

What a boring collection... They could have included so many other things... Demos, more pictures... I don't know... stuff...
