ALL items paid for are processsed 'outbound' to each and EVERY customer, satisfaction guaranteed. Keep in mind we have serviced THOUSANDS of satisfied customers and our aim is to continue to do so.
We make every effort to mail all orders out Friday of each week.

Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and IF YOU REQUEST we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel. To receive continual shipping discounts, we will hold your orders as long as you want, but it is necessary to pay each invoice you receive to stay current. Most importantly, we appreciate your business.

THE DOORS
The Soft Parade
...USA - BIG "E" Elektra - EKS 75005
Old (clean) vintage vinyl in thick gatefold cover - hard to find clean DOORS Lp recorded back in 1969 > > > CONTAINS THE RARE DOORS PHOTO & LYRICS INNER SLEEVE!
The SOFT PARADE has more than it's share of true gems, with a few of the songs being bonafide Doors classics. You have to rate "Touch Me," for example, right up there with the very best Doors singles. It's got a great keyboard based hook, and also builds tension throughout the song before climaxing in the famous "Stronger Than Dirt" finale.
Likewise, once you get past it's overproduced feel, "Wishful Sinful" is one of the prettiest sounding songs in the entire Doors' canon. It also contains what may be Jim Morrison's last really pure sounding vocal, before all the booze turned his voice into that gruff sounding croak you hear on L.A. Woman. And what about "Wild Child"? If that isn't the gnarliest sounding Robbie Kreiger guitar riff you've ever heard from a band usually dominated by Ray Manzarek's keyboards, then I just don't know what is -- and Morrison, whew...no one, but no one could sing this track like the great Jimbo...
The eight minute opus "Soft Parade" that is the title track of this album is a textbook example of Morrison at his over the top, poetically excessive best. Don't ask what all the nonsense about seminary schools and whipping the horses eyes that Morrison sings about here actually means. All the listener knows is that it sounds pretty damned cool, especially towards the end where Morrison's vocals are double tracked to create the audio illusion of two Morrisons trying to out gun each other. The dark side of the Lizard King was in full glory and soon he'd whip it on the nation, leavin the 'old guard' sputtering as mojo was risin'...
