We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

           ...USA - (GOLD) - ELEKTRA RECORDS -  EKS 75005 

RARE and sought after...

...The 1969 ORIGINAL "GOLD" ELEKTRA issue in thick cover....rarely seen, not many pressed

           = Contains the original photo/lyrics Elektra inner sleeve...

After considerably broadening their sound on Waiting for the Sun, the Doors decided to continue pushing the envelope with their next release, The SOFT PARADE. Incorporating a nasty but mellodic edge, The Soft Parade is easily the most challenging album in the Doors' catalog--if not the most accomplished. Though the hit "Touch Me" and other tracks ("Shaman's Blues," and "Wild Child") hearken back to the band's edgier self, the title track is a multipart rock suite that evokes the awakening of the beast in Jimbo Morrison some of the psychedelic era's most ear-popping. "Wishful Sinful" serves up some uncharacteristic melancholy, while the tour-de-force epic The Soft Parade showcases tuneful varied blends that end in Morrison's gone mad ravings... howling at the moon

CONDITION: The cover: The thick gatefold cover is near "EX" (excellent) sharp & stiff with only a 'touch' of prior use showing  = really hard to find without shelf wear, this copy has no split seams, no bends, no writing and TOP level...

The vinyl: still glossy on both sides, VG++ nothing more than a few minor hair scuffs, top surface, so plays smooth ...also with CLEAN GOLD Elektra labels 

keeper!
