Description
PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.
IF YOU ARE A STICKLER THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU. THE VINYL HAS SOME SURFACE MARKS THAT WILL CAUSE SURFACE NOISE and POPS & CLICKS THAT ARE TYPICAL WITH A GOOD+ GRADING AND FOR 50 YEAR OLD VINYL.***The vinyl has one noticeable surface mark that runs with the groove and causes a "squeal" when the needle passes over it at the very begining of Side 2. It does not interfere with the music as it "squeals" just before the music starts. It only lasts for a second. (I tried to photograph it).***
I recently played this LP and it STILL SOUNDS PRETTY DARN GOOD for a 50 year old LP! PLAY TESTED! Plays all the way through without skipping, but you WILL hear surface noise.
Up for sale is one(1) THE DOORS - L.A. Woman 1st Pressing LP with Cellophane WIndow & Embossed Cover 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.
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, but has visual surface marks that will cause surface noise and pops or clicks typical with a Good+ grading. Even with a Good+ grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. 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 but has a very large sized split seam on the bottom and a large split seam on one side. The other side is completely split from top to bottom. Also has ring wear, small tears and crumples all of which are typical with age. There are also scotch tape residue marks where the seams were "repaired" at one time.
The LP is now being housed in a plain white inner sleeve.
The cover is in Good+ condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There is some fraying around the window and the side opening. There are no split seams.
There are what appears to be some verticle surface markings on the surface of the front and rear covers that are unfeelable. Perhaps a printing / graphics error, it's almost as if it happened when the ink on the cover was drying. This does not take away from the quality of the cover.
This is a very delicate cover and typically does not age well, but this one is in pretty good shape.
I obtained this LP in the mid 1970s. It was played many times back in the day. Not played in over 30 years.
I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
