Description
This is an auction for a rare LP by The Doors, Strange Days.
This was released by Elektra records in 1968 and has catalogue number- EKL4014 and is Mono. This is the 1st press with an orange textured label. Please check the pictures for clarification.
The following is pictured below on supersize.
Condition: The sleeve comes in fine condition. A very faint discolour ring can be seen on the front. There is light buffing to the very corners and lastly a few lamination creases the largest of which is on the rear top left corner. Spine & edges Ex, no tears, bends or creases, lamination at mouth fine, two tiny fingering indentations along mouth, complete and graded at a fussy VG+.
This comes with its original picture / lyric inner sleeve which has a little spotting and edge splits to the bottom and left edge.
Both labels are clean, under close examination some spider spindle trails can be seen on each side. The centre hole is fine and shows a mere touch of wear.
Vinyl: Appearance: both sides retain there new shine, Under a very stong light a few tiny feather scratches can be seen and one very faint scuff mark on side 1.
I have play tested this record through both sides and have taken the following notes.
Side 1 starts with a couple of very quiet crackles/pops, this feckling can be heard again in the break between track 1 and 2 and goes into the beginning of track 2 which gives a consistent crackle on each rotation, this soon fades out. This then goes onto play just about perfectly, one or two quiet crackles aside. The music itself plays strong with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever. There is very little, if any, lessening in sound quality to the music itself and does not suffer from any kind of lessening due to wear. This side is graded at VG+
Side 2, This side starts with a few quiet crackles / pops that soon clear after the first few rotations. This side plays very well indeed with quiet breaks and entries. The music itself plays strong with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever. Other than one or two very quiet crackles this side plays as new with very little, if any, lessening in sound quality. This side is also graded at VG+. Down-graded simply because it has been played more than a few times.
The current batch of records I am now selling on Ebay, including The Zombies, Doors, Cream, Mayall, Love Sculpture Etc have all come from the same collector. He did look after his vinyl and sleeves but obviously did not play them often as many have dust / dirt marks. Please check the records I am now listing and over the next few days as many may infact turn out to be a fantastic bargain with huge potential to upgrade most of these items when cleaned properly.
This record is graded at VG+ and is certainly a worthwhile addition to any collection.
