The Singles is a compilation album/box set by the Doors, released on September 15, 2017.[1] It contains both the A-sides and B-sides of all 20 US singles released between 1967 and 1983.

The collection was released in several formats: a vinyl box set containing 20 7-inch singles in packaging replicating the original singles; a double CD version containing four bonus mono radio tracks; and a three-disc deluxe edition containing the double CD version plus a bonus Blu-ray disc containing the quadraphonic mix of the 1973 album The Best of the Doors. All tracks were mastered from the original analog master tapes by the band's longtime engineer Bruce Botnick.[2]
