Description
This is a very rare clean original first US stereo pressing of the iconic self titled first album by psych legends, The Doors, released on the tan/brown big E label by Elektra Records in 1967. The LP cover does not contain the gold record award symbol which is only true of first pressings. Also included is the original gold and white colored inner sleeve. This psychedelic rock classic is very difficult to find in this condition.
The LP visually is in excellent and very close to near mint condition showing only about a 2 inch barely visible line at the beginning of Side 1 and a couple very light barely visible short less than 1 inch hairlines. The LP plays very nicely. The cover still in shrink wrap is in excellent condition,. All corners are sharp. The spine is strong. The top seam is strong with no wear. The bottom seam is strong with no wear except for slight rub wear near the mouth where a small area of shrink wrap is missing. The front and back covers are very clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I reserve the right also to block a buyer that has left negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to place the buyer in the same position they would have been had the transaction not taken place.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
