A new song from "The Doors"? Yes, really! The precise origins of "Paris Blues" remain uncertain, with accounts placing it in sessions for either "The Soft Parade" or "L.A. Woman". Keyboardist Ray Manzarek received the only surviving copy after the master tape was lost. His son Pablo, then a toddler, accidentally recorded over several brief passages. Creative editing and careful restoration have rescued this reminder of the band's love of the blues and its influence on their work. AXS TV premiered a video for the track. "Paris Blues" also gives its name to a limited, numbered translucent-blue vinyl compilation due at selected independent record stores on November 25 for Record Store Day Black Friday. It includes two previously unreleased live recordings, "I Will Never Be Untrue" and "Me And The Devil Blues", featuring Jim Morrison and guitarist Robby Krieger as a duo.

Clown suggests that instead of waiting two years for 12 songs, the band could put out one song every month.
