CELEBRATING "HELLO" AT #1, 50 YEARS AGO

Rhino is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Doors’ “Hello, I Love You” hitting #1 by releasing a newly remastered version of the song along with previously unreleased “rough mixes” of the track along with “Love Street,” the single’s original b-side. The tracks are available on all digital download and streaming services.

A new 7” vinyl version of the mono radio mixes of the songs is being released as well. “Hello, I Love You” is also featured in the upcoming Waiting For The Sun: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, available 9/14.

The two-CD/one-LP collection features a new version of the album’s original stereo mix on both CD and 180-gram vinyl LP, which has been newly remastered from the original master tapes by Bruce Botnick, The Doors’ longtime engineer/mixer.

The set also includes a second disc of 14 completely unreleased tracks: nine recently discovered “rough mixes” from the album recording sessions and five never-before-released live songs from The Doors 1968 European tour.
