“THE DOORS”
(1967 ELEKTRA RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A RARE, UK FIRST MONO PRESSING OF THE UTTERLY SENSATIONAL SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM BY THE DOORS ON THE ORANGE ELEKTRA LABEL.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS ELEKTRA EKL 4007
MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: EKL-4007A 1 (COL) / EKL-4007B 1 (COL)
THE SLEEVE
THE NON- LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR AND SCUFFING TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS. THE OPENING IS FEATHERED. THERE ARE NO TEARS OR SPLITS.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE SLOME LIGHT MARKS & SCUFFS, MOST OF WHICH DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY WHICH IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I DID DETECT A FEW CLICKS AND A QUICK SKIP DURING TRACKS 3 ON SIDE 2.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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.
