Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Doors called 'Waiting For The Sun' and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Textured' Orange Elektra label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE DOORS RAREST LPS EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT SOLD VIRTUALLY NOTHING ON RELEASE BACK IN 1968 - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE RAREST & 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! AND THAT IS BECAUSE THIS LP HAS AN 'EXTRA' BUILT IN INSERT ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER!!!! FOR MANY YEARS - THE UK MAIN RECORD GUIDE HAS INCORRECTLY QUOTED THIS LP AS EXISTING WITH AN 'INSERT' - WHEN OF COURSE IT NEVER DID!!!! HOWEVER THIS MISCONCEPTION WAS CAUSED BY THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST EVER' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP - WHICH MYSTERIOUSLY HAD A 'BUILT IN' INSERT ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER OPENING!!!! IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY 'CLOSE UP' PICTURE - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT WHERE THE 'OPENING' OF THE COVER IS (ON THE BACK RIGHT GATEFOLD) THERE IS AN 'EXTRA PIECE' OF CARD 'BUILT IN' TO THE COVER (WHICH IS EXTRA THICK ON THIS SIDE) WITH HAS THE COMPLETE LYRICS FOR THE LP ON IT!!!! SO INSTEAD OF THE USUAL PLAIN INSIDE OF THE COVER ON THE RIGHT GATEFOLD OPENING EDGE - THIS 'EXTRA PIECE' WAS MISTAKENLY INCLUDED INSIDE THE COVER!!!! THIS MISTAKE ONLY EVER HAPPENED ON A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - BEFORE IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED!!!! I MUST ALSO STRESS THAT THIS 'INSERT' ISNT REMOVEABLE AND ACTUALLY 'PART OF THE INSIDE OF THE COVER' - BUT IT CLEARLY WASNT MEANT TO BE THERE (IT IS AN 'EXTRA' PIECE OF CARD FULLY ATTACHED TO THE COVER!) - AND WAS CORRECTED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!! AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THE 'ERROR' IN THE MAIN UK RECORD GUIDE CAME ABOUT - BECAUSE IN ACTUAL FACT THERE WAS NEVER AN INTENDED 'INSERT' FOR THIS LP - AND SIMPLY A VERY VERY FEW OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY, PRINTED IN ERROR WITH THIS 'EXTRA' PIECE OF CARD INSIDE THE COVER WITH THE LYRICS PRINTED ON IT!!!! HOWEVER THIS DOES CLEARLY SHOW THAT THIS WAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AND THIS AMAZING ERROR MAKES THIS THE RAREST UK DOORS LP OF ALL TIME!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION OVERALL!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS ORANGE 'TEXTURED' ELEKTRA LABELS, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD MONO COVER (WITH 'BUILT IN' INSERT!)!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Elektra UK MONO 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in BRILLIANT condition overall!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is EKL 4024 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Elektra Label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 3 or 4 ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK!!!! It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The 'Earliest' 1st Press Gatefold MONO Cover (with 'Built In' Insert!) is in GREAT condition!!!! The cover has barely ANY edge wear AT ALL (only some VERY minor 'touching in'), NO edgewear AT ALL to the opening front flap, only VERY slight spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear to the outer corners (NOT through the colour), some typical slight spinal wear to the spinal corners (virtually unavoidable on this cover!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, barely ANY ringwear AT ALL, only some VERY minimal grubbyness, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, only some VERY light general rubbing to the black right side, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ULTRA RARE STEREO - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF "WAITING FOR THE SUN" BY THE DOORS, IN BRILLIANT CONDITION OVERALL!!!!
