I'm not going to ramble on about this one - it's simply a great, hard to find copy of this LP - fill out your collection!
Here's a great, near mint GERMAN copy of "Waiting For The Sun" by the legendary Jim Morrison and the Doors. It's hard to find to begin with - and this copy is in such amazing shape - it's hard to believe this LP is 45 years old!
I'm listening to it now and it sounds OUTSTANDING - the vinyl AND cover look almost perfect! You can tell the LP has been carefully cared for 45 years. 
This is the original 1968 German pressing, with the authentic gold ink Elektra labels. This LP has the original, razor sharp edges! It has clean, wear-free labels. 
Please bear in mind this album is 45 years old. There are no scratches - and very few, very light paper scuffs. There are a very few "ticks" in the lead in grooves when you start each side - and it's not bad - I just want folks to know it's there. When the music starts, it disappears. It's a very well cared for LP, and it sounds outstanding.

OUR GRADING SCALE FOR RECORDS: 
"Sealed - Mint" (M): When someone says something’s “Mint condition,” this is what they’re talking about. The album is sealed in its original packaging and has never been played. Period. 
"Mint" (M-): This is the highest grade for a records that has been played. The album is in excellent condition and shows almost no visible signs of wear or damage that will affect sound quality. Perhaps a very slight pop or tick, but almost perfect.
"VG++": The condition is very good, but there may be slight ring or cover wear, the cover may have minor seam splitting or the vinyl may have light visual marks. There could be slight surface sound. 
"VG+": The LP vinyl may have light scratches or other visual blemishes, but should play through without skipping or repeating. Light surface noise and/or crackle may be present. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate seam split. We only sell this grade when it's a rare record - otherwise, these go to the thrift store!
"Good" and below: We consider any item graded at or below "Good" as something you don't want and we won't offer! The sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape. We only offer albums rated VG and above unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends the poor quality of the vinyl or cover. 
Note: Our grading system is not based on the Goldmine system. If you have any questions about the grading of a specific item, please don't hesitate to ask.
I grade these LPs under a 100w halogen light.
Payments: Must be made via PayPal. Required within 3 days from end of auction. 

Shipping: In the US, I ship through USPS media mail. (Please note that media mail can take 2-9 business days.) Delivery confirmation and tracking is included (U.S. only). 
Worldwide, I ship either USPS First Class or USPS Priority Mail. Import duties, taxes and fees are the responsibility of the buyer. I will not list a lower sales price on the customs form, and I will not list merchandise as a "gift," so do not ask. I always package my items carefully to ensure their safe journey to you.
