Advised Light my fire was single edit version The AM radio version of 3:05 mins. I was advised that this cd had the single edit version of "Light my Fire". It does not. I have been looking for that version for years and I thought this was it. It's a shame that they advertise it that way. I only paid $3. 50 including shipping, but that is not the point. Don't advertise something that is not there.
Good complimation but missing some great songs
It has all there biggest hits, light my fire, love her madly, touch me, the end, etc. First off this Doors CD is great for any fan wanting to hear there music. But still it is missing some songs like, strange days, five to one, when the musics over, etc. But still the songs on here make it up for that. This CD also has a great live version of roadhouse blues i think from 1970 great version and plus it has Jim Morrison talking at the end to the crowd, cool version. One thing though is that in the beginning of the song the end, theres like this weird noise thing or whatever that lasts for 20 seconds, it can be kind of annoying, comparing it to there first album. All in all though if you want a Doors cd thats cheap and good you should buy this album today.
Greatest songs of the Doors
" Another favorite is "Touch Me" and others like "Hello I Love You" and "Love Her Madly. This is an album that contains all of the Doors' hits, including the entire version of "Light my Fire. " If you like the Doors this is a must for you. .

Good DOORS compilation
The DOORS were one of THE most inconsistent bands in history-- for proof, compare MORRISON CAFE to their debut album, or stack up THE SOFT PARADE against STRANGE DAYS. This particular GREATEST HITS collection is an ideal album. The former are drivelbound, the latter are generally good quality.
The in-concert "Roadhouse Blues" is excellent, and Morrison's thoughts afterward chillingly prescient. The edited version here of "The End" is really ALL you need of this overhyped dabble into Freudian psychology. As for the rest of this set: solid material-- worth owning. Recommended.
TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 55:50.
