The Doors’ ‘Golden Album’ Gets First-Ever Worldwide Release
Rhino Records is turning 45 and they’re celebrating by launching Rhino Reds, a new series of limited-edition reissues, pressed on custom “Rhino Red” vinyl!
The Rhino Reds series first release is “Golden Album”, a 1968 compilation by The Doors that was originally only released in Japan. The reissue is limited to 5,000 copies worldwide for $49.99. Good luck getting a copy!
