Rhino to Release 50th Anniversary CD of Doors’ 3rd Album Encoded in MQA

Rhino Entertainment will commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Doors' third album, Waiting for the Sun, with the Sept. 14 release of a new version of the album's original stereo mix on CD and vinyl, said the label Tuesday. The CD will be encoded in Master Quality Authentication, playable in its original sample rate when played back on any CD player connected to an MQA device, said Rhino. That’s “in keeping with the band's adoption of cutting-edge technology,” it said, noting that in 1968, The Doors were among the first to use Dolby A301 noise reduction processors.
