The LP is released as a Quadraphonic and re-released as standard Stereo. 2. The Best of The Doors is a two-disc compilation album consisting of 19 of The Doors' best songs during their run. It was commercially released in 1985. All of the songs were a part of previous Doors albums. Included in the set are the Doors' two famous epic poems, "When the Music's Over", and "The End", which end disc one and two, respectively. The RIAA, in February 2007, certified this album as Diamond. Remastered versions of the album were released in 1991 and 2006. 3. The Best of The Doors is a compilation album by The Doors released in 2000, and is different from the album of the same name released in 1973 and 1985. All three versions of this album feature a slightly different track listing and a different photograph of the band's late singer Jim Morrison as cover art. Unlike its eponymous predecessors, the 2000 release includes both "Break on Through (to the Other Side)" and "The End" in their uncensored form.
