***********************REDUCED******************************
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Please do your sums. There are ten albums for sale here. The mono versions easily command 150 and above.  That alone makes 450. The the six studio albums average 100.  These are conservative prices. My start price is a bargain. You will struggle to encounter another lot like this.  And please, I have attempted to provide as much accurate details as possible. My aim is to pleasantly surprise you and certainly not to disapoint. I am not here to incur negative feedback so if you are inclined to drop a negative feedback on me for little or no reason, please move along.  It is important to me that you are happy with your purchase, and equally it is important that I retain my hard earned positive feedback. Rant over.  Thanks
A very unique and rare opportunity to buy all of The Doors 1st UK Pressings in both Mono and Stereo. These records are becoming very scarce to source individually and command prices of £250 a piece and more, certainly the Mono releases.  So to have all in one lot is a rare opportunity for collectors and fans of this seminal band.
You will receive all six studio albums (in both mono and stereo for the very fist three releases), the remaining three studio albums, and The Absolutely Live album, These were all issued during Jims short life.. Moreveover, the condition of each (will be described in detail to follow), makes each record worthy of any collection (I will err on the side of conservatism in each appraisal):-
1/ The Doors Self Titled 1st Album in Mono Side 1 Vinyl visual merits at least Ex.  Perhaps better at EX+.  High glossy gleam that belies the age of the record.  Really stunning. Side 1 Label merits at least Ex, perhaps better at EX+.  Only light spindle trails.  Again Stunning. Side 2 is as side 1.  Correct Mono Sleeve is Ex+, Beautiful untarnished spine.  Laminate still shines, only very minor creases that are not detracting.

2 The Doors Self Titled 1st Album in Stereo Side 1 Vinyl visual merits at least Ex.  Perhaps better but I will stick with my conservative assertment . High glossy gleam that belies the age of the record. Really stunning.  Only very isolated light marks in the exception Side 1 Label merits  Ex.  Only light spindle trails.  Very light byro name at 2"O clock position that may well be removable with care.  Otherwise very presentable Side 2 I will err on the isde of caution as statet EX- only because there 2/3 light marks, last track,  at the 8 O Clock location that run out in the dead.  Otherwise lovely glossy gleam that is age defying .  Mono Sleeve with Stereo sticker in gold on the rear of the album cover (this was usual as in the UK, Elektra UK ran out of Stereo Sleeves owing to the success of the album, and issued Mono Sleeves with a sticker stating Stereo), is Ex+, Beautiful untarnished spine.  Laminate still shines, only minor creases that are not detracting.

3/ The Doors Strange Days in Mono Side 1 Vinyl visual merits at least Ex.  Perhaps better at EX+.  High glossy gleam that belies the age of the record.  Really stunning. Side 1 Label merits at least Ex, perhaps better at EX+.  Only light spindle trails.  Again Stunning. Side 2 is as side 1.  Correct Mono Sleeve is Ex, Only a couple of minor wear spots on the otherwise intact and readable spine.  Laminate still shines, only very minor creases that are not detracting.  A truly presentable & iconic cover with no major faults in the least.
The Fragile Custom inner Sleeve has a couple of minor creases, a couple of small splits in the sides that will be repairable with little effort.  A small and neat name in ink is scribed on the lyrical side but the rare inner sleeve still merits EX-.

The fragile custom inner sleeve is a very clean EX+ condition, minor side slits that can be addressed with care and a prit stick!  I will not attempt the fix but I have seen it done with great success.
10 The Doors Absolutely Live
Disc 1  Side 1 is NM- all round! Side 2 reads as side 1!
Disc 2 Side 1 NM Side 2 NM

---------------------------------------------*------------------------------------------------
So there you have it.  All records individually are hard to come across in this condition, let alone the entire UK catalogue if first pressings.  A simple research will show that the Mono copies demand upwards of £200 each.  
This a unique and rare opportunity to acquire the whole collection in very collectible condition.
Please note that i am also selling the UK catalogue of first pressed singles including the ultra rare Break on through, Alabama Song, People are Strange, and Love Me Two Times.. A new listing will follow so keep and eye out.
Only bid if you are serious.  Suspicious bidding for any reason and bidders who deviate from Ebay etiquette will result in bids being cancelled and the Ebayer banned from bidding on future listings.  No schemers or part refund requests.  Sold as described and pictured.  Postage costing is for domestic UK postage.  For enquirers outwith the UK, contact me first prior to bidding regarding if I will post to your location and costing.
Please use your zoom capability to zoom and study the pictures as these compliment the description.  Apologies for the glare that reflects of the high lustre vinyl surfaces (but thats a good thing right).   A sensible start price for a high end offering in which i have tried to be conservative with appraisals.
Good Luck
