Misleading title

While the title of the box set suggests this is a collection of all the studio recordings by the band, there are some notable exceptions. The set does not include the three post-Morrison albums Other Voices, Full Circle and An American Prayer, nor their respective singles. The non-album B-sides to "Get Up and Dance", the rare "Treetrunk", and to "Love Her Madly", " Don't Go No Further", a Willie Dixon song sung by Manzarek, are also missing.
