“Strange Days”
THE DOORS
Perhaps, the rarest of all of The Doors sealed albums, a Mono mix copy of Strange Days. It can be stated with a full guarantee that this copy is a true very early 1st Mono pressing in addition to the fact that it’s in a factory sealed condition. If you look carefully at the photos, you’ll see that this is the earliest misprint 1st print cover, where the “EKL-4014 (mono)” catalog number is located on the front and back cover with the spine containing a misprint, indicating the “EKS-740014” Stereo catalog number. This is the main identifier, which could be used to state that this copy is the absolute 100% guaranteed incredibly rare 1st Mono pressing copy. The cover contains a “Spartan Department Stores” discount price sticker with another sticker underneath it at the top left corner with a discount punch hole. This copy is in beautiful condition with a rigid spine, edges and corners having no wear or scuffs. The corners are in great shape with the bottom right corner having a super light barely noticeable bumping, which is perhaps not even worth mentioning. 100% guaranteed that you’ll find the very early 1st pressing vinyl containing the Elektra Records gold-mustard 1st pressing label with a large stylized “E” Elektra Records logo and “EKL-4014” catalog number. I’ll take the risk of saying that most likely this is the rarest Monarch Mono pressing as this copy is coming from a private collector, along with the other The Doors records currently listed at our auction, who created his collection by purchasing the records at his local record store in Los Angeles. The majority of the opened copies, currently presented at our auction, were pressed at the Monarch Pressing Plant. If this is the case and this record is a Monarch pressing than this is simply astonishing. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to acquire this magnificent copy. It's extremely hard to find an opened Monarch pressing copy, but finding it in a still factory sealed condition is mind-blowing.
CONDITION:
VINYL - MINT (FACTORY SEALED)
COVER - MINT (FACTORY SEALED)
POLICY:
Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid. Unfortunately, I don't ship to Germany or Russia. I apologize to the buyers from these countries in advance.
