Albums released after the death of Jim Morrison still bore the name of the band, but rehashed material with and without the charismatic Doors lead singer hardly measured up to the kind of force the band was with with the Lizard King out front.  L.A. Woman, the last of the real Doors albums, is getting a 40th anniversary reissue on January 24, together with a DVD documenting the making of the 1971 release. The double CD will include a song from the sessions titled She Smells So Nice never previously released.  Eight different versions of the songs that did make it onto the original album will also be included.
The DVD features interviews with Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, manager Bill Siddons and producer Bruce Botnick with their perspectives on the creative process behind the album that came out just a few months before Morrison died in Paris.  Some rare studio performance video is also included.
