On record, at least. Apparently Ray Manzarek has gotten his head out of his ass and stopped embarrassing himself by touring with a Doors cover band and gotten back to the real Doors. The final NYC concerts recorded with Jim Morrison before his death, will be released in a six-disc collection on November 10th. The shows were recorded on January 17th & 18th, 1970 at Madison Square Garden’s Felt Forum. Man, that takes it back. The Felt Forum was awesome. Sorry, got side tracked. In more Doors news, Rhino Records will also re-release all The Doors albums on vinyl on September 15th. Click through to the track listings for the live box set.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4, Paul McCartney revealed that he is trying to release a Beatles song that some swore didn’t exist and from the sound of it Rockheap wishes it didn’t.  “Carnival of Light” is supposedly a 14 minute improvised psychedelic jam the band recorded in 1967 and was left off of the Anthology releases because it was “too adventurous.”  “The time has come for its moment,” said McCartney, who is looking into getting approval from Ringo Starr and the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison to release the track. “I like it because it’s like the Beatles free.” Let’s hope it’s not free of any musical value.
