Sixty years after the group formed in Los Angeles, The Doors’ legacy continues to endure. A career-spanning studio box set, a live album, museum exhibitions, art installations and further releases are already lined up over the coming months to mark the anniversary, but first comes Genesis Publications’ Night Divides The Day.

With unlimited access to The Doors’ vaults, this sumptuous anthology features interviews with surviving band members guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore, archival text from frontman Jim Morrison and keyboard player Ray Manzarek, rare photos and memorabilia, a limited-edition vinyl seven-inch, plus contributions from famous names including Slash, Van Morrison and Krist Novoselic.
