Description
PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AS THERE IS A LOT TO DESCRIBE!
This is a Good+ copy of a complete first pressing.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE A STICKLER, THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU!
THE COVER HAS SOME ISSUES AS FOLLOWS: THE INITIALS "R G" ARE WRITTEN IN THE LETTER "O" IN THE DOORS AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT COVER. THERE ARE 2 LARGE "X"s WRITTEN IN MARKER ON THE REAR COVER. THERE ARE CRUMPLES and CREASES and SOME LONG SCRAPES ON THE FRONT COVER. AND THERE ARE A FEW SCRAPES IN THE CELLOPHANE WINDOW JUST UNDER JOHN'S CHIN. (see photos). I'M STILL GRADING THIS COVER AS GOOD+ AS IT IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND THERE ARE NO SPLIT SEAMS.
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE HAS A LONG SPLIT ON 1 SIDE FROM THE TOP TO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN and A SMALL SPLIT ON THE OTHER 2 SIDES.
THE VINYL HAS SOME VISUAL SURFACE MARKS THAT ARE TYPICAL WITH A GOOD+ GRADING.
IF ANY OF THESE ISSUES ARE A CONCERN FOR YOU, PLEASE DON'T BUY IT.
PLAY TESTED! I recently played this LP and it SOUNDS AWESOME! But you will hear surface noise typical with a Good+ grading.
Up for sale is one(1) THE DOORS - L.A. Woman 1st Pressing LP with the Cellophane Window, Embossed Cover & Yellow inner sleeve from 1971 on the Elektra Records (#EKS-75011). There is No Barcode.
Has the Artisan symbol etched in the deadwax signaling a high quality mastering, which is why this LP sounds so good after 50 years.
This is the very rare ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING with Rounded Corners, EMBOSSED COVER, SEE THROUGH CELLOPHANE WINDOW WITH THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE WITH THE WOMAN BEING CRUCIFIED ON THE TELEPHONE POLE and 15 COLUMBUS DRIVE ADDRESS on the BUTTERFLY ELEKTRA LABEL.
YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF THESE ATTRIBUTES TO HAVE A TRUE FIRST PRESSING.
The Vinyl is in Good+ condition with some visual / unfeelable surface marks that will cause surface noise typical with a Good+ grading. Even with a Good+ grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. Certainly more noticeable during the quiet parts.
Nice fairly clean Elektra Butterfly labels with some spindle marks. The labels are in Good+ condition.
The custom inner sleeve is in Good+ condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases & crumples. There is a large split seam on 1 side and a small split on the other 2 sides.
The LP is now in a plain white inner sleeve.
The cover is in Good+ condition(for this cover) with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases & crumples, all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There is some fraying around the window(typical with this cover). There are no split seams. There are a few noticeable scrapes in the cellophane window(again, typical with this cover). And there is writting in Black marker.
This cover typically does not age well because of all the delicate parts, but this one is in Good+ shape(for this cover).
I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
