The 50th anniversary bandwagon keeps rolling along and understandably so: those were high times in pop culture half a century ago. The latest anniversary release honors The Doors’ 1968 album, Waiting for the Sun, in a package including the music remastered on LP and CD plus a second CD containing rough mixes from the sessions and five live numbers. Compared to the band’s first two albums, sonically innovative and visionary in their thematic unity, Waiting for the Sun was scattershot. The Doors seemed to fumble for direction, and yet the course they took netted their first number one LP and one of their classic songs, “Hello, I Love You.”
