IF YOU ARE A STICKLER, THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS BEING PRICED ACCORDINGLY DUE TO CONDITION! THERE IS VISUAL SURFACE WEAR and MARKS THAT WILL CAUSE SURFACE NOISE and POPS & CLICKS.
As a bonus I am including a crude BLACK & WHITE PHOTOCOPY of the original "Lover Her Madly" Hype Sticker.
Up for sale is one(1) THE DOORS - L.A. Woman 1st Pressing LP with Cellophane WIndow & Embossed Cover from 1971 on the Elektra Records (# EKS-75011). There is No Barcode. Has the Artisan symbol etched in the deadwax signaling a high quality mastering.
This is the very rare ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING with Rounded Corners, EMBOSSED COVER, SEE THROUGH CELLOPHANE WINDOW WITH THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE WITH THE WOMAN BEING CRUCIFIED ON THE TELEPHONE POLE and 15 COLUMBUS DRIVE ADDRESS on the BUTTERFLY ELEKTRA LABEL.
YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF THESE ATTRIBUTES TO HAVE A TRUE FIRST PRESSING.
I recently played this LP and it SOUNDS GREAT!
The vinyl is in good condition, but has visual surface marks that WILL cause surface noise and you WILL hear pops or clicks along the way. PLAY TESTED! Plays all the way through without skipping, but you WILL hear surface noise.
Nice fairly clean Elektra Butterfly labels with some spindle marks. The labels are in Good condition.
The custom inner sleeve is in Good condition but has a small split seam at the bottom, some ring wear and a some crumples all of which are typical with age.
The cover is in Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, scrapes, small dings, ring wear, and creases all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There are no split seams, punch holes, cut outs, clips, stamps, writing on it etc. This is a delicate cover and typically does not age well, but this one is in decent shape.
I obtained this LP in the mid to late 1970's. It was played many times back in the day. Not played in over 30 years.
I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
