ATTENTION DOORS COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL MONO MIX 1967  USA PRESSING ELEKTRA"GROOVED"AND GOLD COLOUR LABEL 1ST EDITION DOORS DEBUT LP:

"THE DOORS"

AN ESSENTIAL AND STILL EXCITING ALBUM!

THIS ONE HAS THE GOLD AND GROOVED LABEL AND THICK VINYL WHICH ENDED ON MOST ELEKTRA LPs TOWARDS THE END OF 1969 REPLACED WITH THE DARK RED DESIGN WHICH WAS ALREADY BEING USED ON SELECTED ALBUMS IN 1967!

ALSO ELEKTRA STOPPED MAKING MONO LPs BEFORE THE END OF THE 1960s AS MOST AMERICAN FANS AND BUYERS HAD STEREO COMPATABLE EQUIPMENT.

A STRICTLY GRADED VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION LP WITH SOME VISUAL SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE,SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND"PEAKS" BUT STILL PLAYS FINE AND FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST"V.G.COPIES"!

PLAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT WITH SOME TONE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT THE SOUND IS BETTER AND THE DISC PLAYS GREAT!

THIS IS NOT AS BAD AS IT MAY SEEM,BUT I WOULD RATHER UNDERGRADE AND MAKE MENTION OF THIS RATHER THAN DISAPPOINT.

STILL A VERY NICE SOUNDING COPY! 

THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT ELEKTRA INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED WITH A SPLIT AT THE CENTRE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE.  

THE COVER DOES HAVE SOME SURFACE RING WEAR TYPICAL OF AMERICAN COVERS OF THE 1960s, BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THE SPINE HAS EASY TO READ DETAILS!  

THE MONO MIXES HAVE HARDLY ANY"ECHO"ON TRACKS WHICH HAVE FAR MORE ON THE STEREO VERSIONS WITH A MORE INTIMATE,CLOSER MIKED EFFECT! 

EKL 4007(MORE DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RARE ORIGINAL USA EDITION OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM, 

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN ORIGINAL 1967 EDITION WHICH IS NOW 44 YEARS OLD AND AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN ORIGINAL COPY AT A DECENT PRICE!

MINT OR NEAR MINT COPIES CAN FETCH £100+ AND SO A VERY DECENT VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION L.P.IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE OPTION ON THE BASIS THAT TRUE NEAR MINT CONDITION COPIES ARE GENERALLY KEPT UNPLAYED FOR INVESTMENT.

 AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY  LP COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN MANY PLAYS BUT IS STILL IN DECENT ORDER AND PLAYS FINE WITH A FEW MINOR, VISUAL SURFACE MARKS.

THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT HARDLY ANY WITH NO STICKS,NO JUMPS,NO CONSTANT SWISHES etc etc!

THERE IS SOME DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND"PEAKS"BUT THIS IS BEING VERY STRICT.

THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN THE TRACKS OR AT THE START AND END OF EACH SIDE UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP! 

 FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST"VG"GRADED LPs"!

*********************************************************** 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION WITH SOME  SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT AND THE SURFACE NOISE DOES NOT OVERSHADOW THE MUSIC!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!  

Copies of this LP were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one-??

USED BUT NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED!!!!!!

Just to explain, in 1967,the majority of fans were using poor equipment. Classical LPs tended to be more cared for.  

THIS ONE HAS BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES BUT STILL SOUNDING FINE! 

The MONO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Any serious DOORS collector will require ALL THE BAND'S LPs IN BOTH MONO AND STEREO FORMATS AND OF COURSE NON-UK PRESSINGS ARE OF INTEREST LIKE THIS ONE.  

THE MONO TRACKS IN MANY CASES IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO VERSIONS WITH FASCINATING VARIATIONS-EXTRA EFFECTS AND GUITAR"LICKS"!

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE DOORS and always will be!   GREAT SOLID,GUTSY MONO SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear - INITIALS IN PEN (TWICE)ON ONE OF THE LABELS. 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A VERY NICE COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "VG"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
