Published 10th Jan 2012

Hennemusic reports that "She Smells So Nice” was recently discovered while reviewing the session tapes for the band's upcoming 40th Anniversary reissue of "L.A. Woman.”

Keyboardist Ray Manzarek says he had forgotten all about the bluesy track from the 1971 sessions.

"I didn’t even know it existed,” Ray tells Complex. "It was a surprise to all of us. Our producer/engineer Bruce Botnick was digging through all the out-takes and said ‘Hey! There’s a new song here.’ Laughs. 'She Smells So Nice.' And you know which part that is.”

The Doors release LA Woman as a 2 disc deluxe edition on 23 January along with a brand new film entitled Mr Mojo Rising, which documents the making of the album
