L.A.Woman - The Doors  

Label: Elektra, Catalogue No: K42090,

Year Of Release: 1971.

Record from my personal collection.

Record visually graded as Excellent -, plays as 'Excellent'.

A few light marks that cause no problems during playback, no skips or jumps with minimal background noise.

This is the rare 1st press, Elektra Butterfly label, matrix numbers A1/B1.

The sleeve has the embossed 'The Doors', also the die-cut corners with window front. The sleeve has slight shelf wear to the edges & corners, a few light crease marks are also evident. Nothing that is too major or unusual on a sleeve which is 42 years old!

The original crucifix inner sleeve is present, still in excellent condition. However it is split on both sides and the bottom.

**'Please see key below for record gradings'.**

All records are cleaned and played before listing, they are then played again before despatch, this gives you peace of mind that all records are playable and graded correctly.

Grading as per record collector guide ( please see guide below ):

Overseas bidders welcome, postage rates to be advised prior to bidding or please wait for an invoice.

The postage rates stated are not just for the cost of the item being posted, it includes a purpose made 'Defenda Vinyl' mailing system, which is then wrapped to a high standard. This stops your record being damaged, nor the cover / sleeve having unsightly bends and creases. From past experience you may get cheaper postage rates, are you going to be happy with a damaged record / bent cover, i wasn't!

Note: Payment required within 5 days, via PayPal. Alternative payment methods, timescales may be available, if you contact me prior to bidding. Thanks!!

Despatch time within 5 days of receipt of payment.

I have 100% feedback, so if you have dealt with me before you will know that i am fair with my pricing, and i try to be as accurate with my descriptions as possible! I am not a record dealer but have been a 'Vinyl Junkie' for nearly 30 years, therefore this is a hobby. If in the unlikely event of there being a problem, please send me a message before leaving feedback so that i can do my best to rectify the problem. Many thanks!!

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

Many Thanks,

Happy Bidding.....
