Description
ARTIST: DOORS ALBUM TITLE: DOORS RECORD LABEL: COLUMBIA / ELEKTRA LABEL YEAR: 1967 INTRODUCTION: VERY VERY RARE ORIGINAL FIRST USA PRESSING MONO/VERSION OF THE DOORS’ FIRST LP THIS IS PROBABLY THE RAREST VERSION YOU CAN FIND OF DOORS’ MASTERPIECE. ABSOLUTELY AN HOLY GRAIL FOR ALL FANS OF JIM MORRISON AND FRIENDS. AS YOU WELL KNOW THE FIRST LP OF DOORS WAS PRESSED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLANTS AND PRECISELY MONARCH RECORD PLANT IN LOS ANGELS - CA ALLENTOWN RECORD PLANT IN ALLENTOWN - PA AND COLUMBIA RECORD PLANT IN PITMAN - NJ AND TERRE HAUTE - IN OBVIOUSLY ALL THESE PLANTS PRESSED THE RECORD WITH ORIGINAL ELEKTRA MATRIX PLUS SOME LETTERS IN ORDER TO INDICATE THE RECORD-PRESSING PLANT, SO YOU CAN FIND “MON” OR “MR” FOR MONARCH RECORD PLANT “AL” AND “ARC” FOR ALLENTOWN RECORD PLANT “CP” AND “CTH” FOR COLUMBIA RECORD PLANT WELL THIS COPY WAS PRESSED IN COLUMBIA RECORD PLANT INFACT SHOWS IN TRAIL OFF “CTH” ON ONE SIDE AND “CTH-1” ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT THE PARTICULARITY IS THAT THIS COPY HAS ON SIDE IN MONO AND THE OTHER SIDE IN STEREO. BESIDES ALSO THE MATRIX ARE DIFFERENT INFACT SIDE IN MONO SHOWS EKL 4007-A AND OPPOSITE CTH-1 SIDE STEREO SHOWS EKS 74007-B-1 AND OPPOSITE CTH THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE RAREST VERSION YOU CAN FIND OF DOORS FIRST ALBUM. I WISH TO SPECIFY THAT THIS IS NOT A TEST PRESSING, PROBABLY THIS COPY WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT IN ORDER TO CENSURATE SOME WORDS IN “THE END” TEXT. INFACT AS YOU WELL KNOW, ORIGINAL FIRST USA PRESSING IS BOTH IN MONO AND STEREO BUT MONO COPY IS UNCENSORED AND STEREO COPY IS CENSORED. A TRULY PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY. ANOTHER PARTICULARITY IS THE FACT THAT THERE ISN’T THE CLASSIC “ELEKTRA” GOLD-LABEL BUT TWO LABELS FOR EACH SIDE. INFACT AS YOU CAN SEE, TWO WHITE LABELS (NOW A BIT YELLOWISH) WERE HOT-PRESSED FOR EACH SIDE AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY OUT-OF-CENTRE AND IT’S POSSIBLE TO SEE TWO DIFFERENT EDGES. BESIDES THERE IS THE WORD “COLUMBIA” AND “LOGO” STAMPED ON ONE SIDE AND “DOORS” WRITTEN TO THE OTHER SIDE. COVER SHOWS “NOT FOR SALE” STAMPED ON FRONT. PAYMENT I ACCEPT BOTH BANK TRANSFER AND PAYPAL PAYMENT BUT IF YOU CHOSE THIS LAST METHOD YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT SHIPPING TIMES MAY BE A LITTLE LONGER. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT PAYPAL BLOCKS THE MONEY ON THE ACCOUNT FOR A MINIMUM TIME OF THREE DAYS (IF THE FINAL PRICE AUCTION IS BELOW 300 $) TO A MAXIMUM TIME OF FOURTEEN DAYS (IF THE FINAL PRICE AUCTION IS OVER 300 $), SO, FOR FISCAL REASONS, BEFORE I SEND TO THE WINNER A POSTAL LETTER WITH THE INVOICE AND WHEN THE FUNDS ARE UNBLOCKED I WILL SEND HIM THE RECORD. CONDITIONS: COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS WITH SOME WEAR ON FRONT AND BACK DUE TO THE AGE PLUS THREE STICKERS IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. SPINES DOESN’T SHOW ANY SPLITS BUT THEY ARE A BIT WORN LIKE THE CORNERS. BESIDES COVER IS A BIT “SWOLLEN” PROBABLY DUE TO THE STORAGE IN HIGH MOISTURE CONDITIONS. VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITIONS WITH A LOT OF AIRLINES, AND PLAYS WITH A LOTS OF “TIC” HERE AND THERE PLUS BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGH ALL THE RECORD. SHIPPING COST: EUROPE 12 EURO UNITED STATES 18 EURO REST OF THE WORLD 25 EURO
